      It will burn like hell! Looking at its color, it’s probably quite poisonous too.

      Catching them would be fun Robert, but I’m afraid not the fishing part – life’s too short to sit next to a dam waiting for something to happen! 😉

      He popped out of the shrubbery as my wife was watering the garden. She screamed out and I came running to see what had happened only to turn right around and rush back inside for my mobile camera. I was about three inches away from it when I took this.

  An Inch Ant. As I was taking this pic, those orangey globs came out of it’s mouth and it started to clean them with it’s front legs. Yuk!

    Wow, I had to look up Inch ants, that’s a big ant! Where I lived as a kid, wen had wood ants in the nearby woods, and I thought they were big, but it seems they’re about half the size of inch ants!

      By pure coincidence, I happened to be listening to a radio interview with someone who is an expert on ants recently and he talked about inch ants. He said that despite their ferocious looking pincer-jaws, they don’t bite you but sting you with their tail.
      
      Unlike most ants, they seem to travel around solo. I see them everywhere, incuding inside the house sometimes.

    I love the jumping spiders :)! With those large eyes and their tiny size, I think they are lovely… but all people around me also think they are creepy :).
    
    I love the colour contrast between background colour and its black eyes. It centers all the attention in its eyes.

      Thanks Dahlia. Not a baby but I’m not sure if it’s full grown either. This type of crab spider is pretty small. But they’re strong for their size.

    I had no idea that hornets liked apples.
    
    In fact, I had no idea whatsoever what hornets like. Lol

      Rob, I didn’t know anything about hornets, in fact I’ve hardly ever seen one before! I saw it buzzing around the apple tree and had to look it up …. I’m used to seeing wasps, but this was so much bigger. The apple tree has attracted lots of interest this year, lots of butterflies and lots of birds eating the apples!

    This is great. So fun to get such a close look and see the details you never see except in a wonderful photo such as this.

  This harvestman posed nicely for me. I was actually shooting the sedum flower, but the harvestman kind of photobombed the scene.
