Will post as A. sp. only then.

I think I'll remove the "possibly" from my Lagria, as it seems more metallic than most I see.

Hi all. Can anyone ID this found in our new home. Not a good photo but the best I could do with the normal lens.

Its wingspan was only 3cm - a small little guy. Kind of reminded of one of those old World War 1 mono planes.

It's a Plumemoth (Family Pterophoridae)

Not much info available to ID them to species level, it is perhaps in the genus Crombrugghia

Thanks very much Toko.

Never seen that before stf!

Nor have we Flutterby - unusual looking guy.

Stealthy Ground Spiders. Wandering spiders. Flat-bellied ground spiders
Gnaphosidae possibly Micaria sp.

Micaria sociabilis ( found in Europe and Russia - very similar looking)
http://eol.org/data_objects/5815445

Micaria species found in SA/Namibia:
Micaria beaufortia (Tucker, 1923) — South Africa
Micaria tersissima Simon, 1910 — Namibia
I can't find a pic of these two to compare.

I really know nothing about spider IDs, just matched the colors up to pictures

I think this may be a mismatched link:
