Winged males were interested in this female giant scale insect. This is on the trunk of a lichen and moss covered matagouri tree.
I've uploaded a movie of their antics at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mollivan_jon/53516412215/

The scale insect, not the ant or mites. The scale insect was producing drops of honeydew for the ant every so often.

Approx. < 0.5mm
Might these be very young Tulip Tree Scale (Toumeyella liriodendri) crawlers?

Joro as prey to a Mimetus sp. spider
I've been watching this Joro every day recently because she was the last one left on the property this year (that I knew of). To my surprise this is how I found her this morning. When the temperature drops to around or below freezing, I've found the Joro females hanging limp in their webs, and nearly unresponsive but not totally, and as the temp rises they limber and liven back up, coming back to normal. I wonder if the 31F temp this morning likely rendered her a lot more vulnerable to being preyed upon. She was definitely not responsive at all to my pokes before I left this pair this morning and it had already warmed up to 45F.
The last photo is one I had taken the day before of the same female Joro, 1 Dec 22.

Five green and yellow tortoise-shell-like structures found on a fallen leaf (probably hangehange, Geniostoma rupestre) on a forest track. Nine days later numerous tiny yellow egg-shaped objects appeared scattered over the surface. Eggs?

One male was sitting atop the other (dead) and appeared to be eating the dead male. We removed the top male from the bottom to confirm the bottom harvestman was a dead male (4th pic).

Unsure if it is a bold or regal jumping spider. I know it is eating a fir tussock moth.

It's a double. I think jumping spider and assassin bug?

I think this is an immature bold jumping spider with long-jawed orb weaver prey, but that's just what a nearby cricket frog told me, and you know how they are.
