A microscopic video of a small spider with a triangular (or similarly shaped) abdomen when viewed from the side. I’ve looked for information on a website about spiders in my area, but I can’t find anything. Located in Spain.

What is this thing stuck to the top of a fence? Is it a nest of some kind? It was the size of a walnut, or a little bigger.

[Video] ID? I found this small, bluish snail. I don’t know if it’s terrestrial or aquatic because it was in a mixed zone.

I had seen microscopic clams, but not a microscopic snail! In a stream near a wetland.

Cicadella viridis under the microscope. It is a dead specimen collected from a trap in the village trees—I believe the trap is intended for Asian hornets, though there wasn't one inside.

Tiny spider, Olympus SZ-III stereo. Other video and photos in the comments. I'm going to upload it to the entomology subreddit to see if anyone knows the species.

While looking at a mosquito under the microscope, I noticed something attached to its body. I dont know if it’s part of its body, a parasite, or something else. Does anyone know? I will also upload the photo to the entomology subreddit.

An injured centipede—or whatever it is. (It was already injured when I saw it near my house.) Olympus SZ-III stereo and a headlamp. Cheap phone camera.

Can I use this to attach a ring light to the objective of the Olympus SZ-III Stereo, or do I need a different adapter?

Hello, I bought a vintage Olympus SZ-III stereo microscope, and it has some misalignment—mainly horizontal. The view through one eye is shifted to one side compared to the other. Look at the plastic crab arm and the other picture. Should I return it?
