Ignorance is bliss, its a tough world being anything I guess, but especially for wood louse and flies.

Interestingly the Tegenaria turned up the wood louse, deciding that it was too well armoured. There was a small Linyphiidae spider a fraction of the size of the wood louse that had a go at it from underneath, but being so small I don't think it managed to make much of an impression!

Wonderful stuff Richard. It almost has the look of an illustration to it that I really like.
