Very nice!
I had recently learned a new term that applies here. "Myrmecomorphy" is the special kind of mimicry where an animal mimics an ant. The term exists b/c there are many examples of it, from spiders in several different families, and members of several different orders of insects.

You did well to capture that tiddler. I wonder if all your neighbours have so much wildlife in their gardens or does it all congregate in yours.
