Fly, spiders and a weevil

The spiders all very small yet, but I believe the flies are St Marks flies and only really appear for a couple of weeks apparently, but however long they show for they do seem to be popular with the spiders, the baby orb spider must've been about 1.5mm will feed well on this one anyway.

All JPEGs pretty much straight out of camera this time, seem to have mis-filed my RAWs this time

Nice shooting Infestation. Yep that's a long jaw. We have the same ones over here. Weevil is my favorite shot. I always find the details and textures on these critters quite fascinating...

Thank you, can have some good days, the last couple have been cooler though, down to the high 40s with wind and rain :(
