#LockdownSucksChallenge Round 4 - a couple of noobs

Pocadicnemis pumila

I've finished doing the I.D.s for round 4 (for me) of the #LockdownSucksChallenge. Most of the species are familiar from previous rounds (but a nationwide picture of abundance and phenology will be useful), but there are some changes. Ceratinella brevipes and Pocadicnemis pumila are new for me, and not frequently recorded in VC55 (possibly because of identification difficulty). In addition, my local Pardosa and Xysticus are now (mostly) mature, signalling the start of a mad scramble of the next couple of months.
