Hi Jason - pics uploading as I type. Some are very out of focus, our subject seemed decidedly unkeen on being photographed! It was in an upside-down wine glass at the time which might explain it's agitation - clean one that is!
A proper dorsal shot I didn't manage to get - but there's plenty there to show the yellow legs - halfway there, will post the link to the album when done.
Cheers!
A butterfly. A very old and battered looking butterfly. Looks like it has lost most of its scales, which means the markings are atypical.
I'm forced to guess, but I might hazard that it is a small white Artogeia rapae, as they are known to be active as late as October.
Mike, I had a go at identifying a moth you posted up on an earlier page. Was that guess any good? I'd like to know, assuming you have identified the moth yourself.
One for Harvestman...

The leaf is interesting too - not exactly native but the pic was taken in Cumbria a fortnight ago.
An EHM caterpillar is what I made it. Still waiting on the water walking spider.
I used to use http://www.whatsthiscaterpillar.co.uk/ to ID caterpillars anyone found another site?
Another one to have a go at
