User's notes
On the Bluett's Block nocturnal survey, Ciaran spotted these spiders scooting across the water. The spider in photo 2 plunged under the water and came up with (what looks like) a dragonfly nymph and started munching on it. In photo 3, it submerged itself again, so it was upside down in the water. It was fascinating.
