Very good! I'd get a bit concerned with one of those on my boot.

I hadn't noticed the little red ruff around the ants neck before, so cute. The second pic shows this clearly.

Super cool..! and you included a real sweetie in there too.
You wouldn't be referring to the jumper as a sweetie would you? Is it a Bold Jumping Spider? They're definitely cute critters unless of course you're on the menu.

I have not seen a velvet ant before. Gotta love the ability to zoom in on these little creatures!
