User's notes

Multiple individuals present within the area of approximately 100m2. No search beyond this. Approximately 2-3m between each visible individual. It is possible there were more there, just not visible amongst the dirt and litter and darkness. Images are of same individual under torch light. Individuals ranged in size significantly. Smallest seen approx 7mm in length, largest approx 15-20mm in length. Abodomen long, oval in shape and bulbous. Did not react aggressively to be gently probed with a blade of grass.
