Proof that nature can be harsh and harshly beautiful at the exact same time. The hardest part of capturing this photo was knowing the fly was still alive while he was being rolled into breakfast for this spider. Life in the undergrowth continues to amaze.
I couldn't decide if the inch worm looking insect inside the leaf was there by choice or there as food for hatchlings. I spent a minute or two with while shooting its demise, and didn't see it move. Of course why would it if it was resting, or trapped for its destiny?
This pencil eraser-sized spider had only a few strands of well placed web in place. Enough to ensnare a fly about five times her size. First she used some of the webbing to wrap its wings, holding it helplessly as you see it. Then she gathered more of her web, pulling one strand at the time to entangle the fly's legs. On and on she worked securing a prize she might savor for spider days. Quite the worker. Wish my lens was better, and the on and off breeze not a problem, but this is the outcome of a life and death struggle too small to be easily seen.

I'm not real sure what's going on with this. At first I thought the ants were acting like worker ants tending the newly hatched. But then I wondered if they just couldn't resist easy pickings and at a long protein rich breakfast. Either way, here they are. The ants are about an eighth inch long.
New insect for me. Looked like a walking pile of tiny twigs glued onto a flat kind of spoon-shaped carapace. I know everything has its place and use in nature. But honestly, I think I need a handbook or life usage spirit guide, or something.
the Golden Orb-Web Spider, master of golden-threaded webs that shimmer like treasure in the sunlight.
The Garden spider, Araneus diadematus...I found this beauty in mid January above our front door - slightly unusual for the time of year!
You'll need to look closely. The intruder, or really hungry bug of some kind, is the third to the right bump on the right arm of the cross, or "X" if that works better. Kind of looks like a red eyed spider, and kind of looks like the Alien in miniature.

in our downstairs toilet. Nice to see mother and babies doing well enjoying the cool and damp atmosphere. Hemel Hempstead, June 20th 2016
Perfectly suspended in space, this thread-legged acrobat embodies the essence of stillness and strategy. Every limb stretched, every silk thread taut — this spider isn’t lost, it’s waiting. Suspended in the blur of the jungle’s green breath, it’s the quiet architect of ambush.
Well, I confess that I, like many people who come up against a large Wolf Spider, find myself on the defensive. But why? If you get close to one, you'll find a sensitive soul, seeking friendship. Take the above pictured spider. He waited patiently in my garage while I lined up the shot, tried over and over to get the lighting right, and steadily moved in closer and closer. He was so patient, I began to wonder if he was in fact, comatose. Nope. As soon as I was done, and opened the garage door, he jettisoned so fast I didn't even see him go. So long my fuzzy freaky friend. People may think you're all legs, spikes, hair and fangs... but I know better. You just want a little love, and a really good portrait.
(for extra credit, open up the largest version of this photo to see that I bounce-flashed off of the side of a full size, upright arcade game which I'm restoring in my garage. Anyone remember Moon Patrol? Anyway, it provided a nice blue specular highlight in his eyes. )

Vine twisting vine. They don't ever seem to get anywhere, but who am I to question the goals of a vine? Or any plant for that matter? Great colors.

Une belle et tendre Lycosidae Sp.
Les Lycosidae sont des araignées de taille variable, la longueur du corps des adultes allant de 1 mm à 35 mm selon les espèces. Ici nous sommes sur un spécimen d’une taille de 11 mm
Celle-ci, n’utilise pas non plus de toile pour chasser, elle chasse au sol de petits insectes comme des mouches, moustiques ou autres. Ses 8 yeux lui offrent une très bonne vue, mais pas aussi bonne que sa consœur.
Cependant, au niveau de la course à pied, ses grandes papattes lui donnent l’avantage sur la piste !
Mais si, vous en avez déjà vu, elles courent partout sous les tas de bois, les copeaux, les feuilles, les hautes herbes.
La prise horizontale et un peu sombre est volontaire pour lui donner un côté un peu lugubre.
On est donc sur du ;
