These tiny baby spiders were maybe 2 mm long. I found them on a bit of web atop a thin plant stem about three feet tall. Per Marshal Hedin, they're trap door spiderlings, Ummidia sp. Trap door spiders are related to tarantulas; they live in burrows with hinged lids, and pop out to grab prey that get too close. I was pleased to have found these - they would have been easy to miss. The spiderlings were on the high perch so they could disperse by ballooning (letting out a strand of silk and floating away) ala Charlotte's babies in "Charlotte's Web." Cute little nuggets.

Something a little different, from my recent uploads anyway.
A question for those contacts of mine from yorkshire, do you know where this photo was taken? A couple of clues, you can see Emley Moor transmitter from here, that should help with location, and another clue is BASKET.
Will reveal location on sunday.

I really want to make pictures that move people emotionally in some way. My goal for my 365 projects has been to show that light can transform even the most mundane items into things of magic and wonder. Look around you and see what is hiding in your world.
When you spend so long trapped in darkness,
you find that the darkness begins to stare back.

This butterfly was trapped behind the curtain in the garage, very carefully I caught it and set it free...
