A little double upload of this little insect. I remember looking down at a grass seed stalk in sunlight and seeing something red. Thinking a cool red "hair" growing out of grass seed would make a cool photo, down I went and only discovered the red "hair" was antennae coming off this incredibly small insect which I could only see through my macro lens. I have no clue on an ID.

 

The first is a close up of the guy, the latter set against a bokeh-bow (hehe).

A nest of baby spiders, suspended on a fine web, above stinging nettles.

Thought this was a wasp when I spotted it on the car but think it's a male flying red ant Myrmica sp.
