    Little Green Spider for ID, C Spain

    This one was taken in Madrid mountains at the beginning of July. I knew the pic was awful and didn't bother to process it.

    Grizzled Skipper for ID, N Spain

    Yes, I know. Just the title would put everyone off :-O I am very puzzled with this one. I think it might be Pyrgus carthami. The pattern on the upper hindwing is somehow distinctive. But not so sure about the underwing as it is rather tatty. I didn't realize while taking the picture it might...

    Unknown Spider, C Spain

    Can anybody help me to ID this spider? I am hopeless with spiders but they fascinate me tremendously. This menacing guy was sitting on that flower and at some point, a fly passed by and quickly grabbed it. The fly managed to scape though. I wonder if that was a hunting technic that might help to...
