Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

Menemerus sp. of some kind?
Sept./Kruger - taken same date and within 13 minutes of the one you posted as Menemerus sp. yesterday

2017 file 7

This one has a diff. abdomen pattern and diff. color palpi, and maybe white "knees"

This one confused me too because of the diff shape, but now I think it is a juvenile female of Menemerus and the white scales on the pedi are maybe only prominent in males?

We make it a Menemerus, I'd say.

Mata Mata's tiny denizens: (Haven't ID'd them yet, as it can be pretty time consuming.)

Fly

This is the beautiful Hoverfly Ischiodon aegyptius

If you agree, I put it to the Diptera book. We have the male, and yours is the female.

Okay, on to a few bugs. Auchterlonie picnic site has some beautiful Yellow Cat-whisker wild flowers that teeny tiny flies are attracted to, so I spent some time with them.

This is from the subfamily Phthiriinae, Bombyliidae and obviously there is only one genus represented in SA: Phthiria.

What do you think?

I can not find any paper on SA species, only this list

I have been looking, too. No direct matches

We post it just as Euphorine Jumping spider
Subfamily: Euophryinae

[ExFmem]

Sounds okay be me.

I don't know anything about Euphorines, but will try to dig something up.

Since there is already an entry for Menemerus sp., with lots of info. on the genus, should I add these pics to that, or just do another entry without posting all the info. again?
