Central Iberian Worm Lizard (Blanus vandellii)Observer
neilfletcherDescription
Yes! 8 years I've been looking for this, a fabulous animal. Found in garden compost.
I am not at all clear about the distinction between cinereus and vandellii, but:
length c.170mm
body annuli - 116 (I think, but may have the body/tail separation in the wrong location) - photo shows yellow dashes representing 10 annuli, then dots for remaining 6.
I would greatly appreciate reasons for any species suggestions - thanks.

We had the door open and this specimen flew inside the house, stayed long enough for me to capture a few photos and then flew back out the door.
Photo #3 (blurry) is the only photo I have that shows the legs.

Iberian Solifugid (Gluvia dorsalis)Observer
susanne-kasimirDescription
two large individuals under a stone - but by the time I had put the stone down, they were gone. I was already thinking of making a casual observation just to remember the encounter. On the way back I looked under the stone - nothing, but another next to it had at least one of them. Definitely more than 2 cm, fortunately Scantius aegyptius works as size comparison.

or Acrida ungarica?
Is it possible to conclude from the early date, that it is T. nasuta?

Family MengenillidaeObserver
neilfletcherDescription
Having never seen one before, I've been fascinated by Strepsitera in recent days and been checking every Polistes wasp just in case - then a male flew in to the house and landed on the table in front of me! I fear that its rear abdomen was slightly damaged in some photos as it was under a glass.
@gung Hi Daniel, is there enough detail here to determine the family, or further? With many thanks

Wow! What a beauty! The spider (probably Lycosa hispanica) was already paralysed and not moving at all.
