Wee Spider and bug on mat

[ChrisA]

A tiny spider I found in some bark at the weekend. Size less the 1/2 cm.

For it's size I find the fangs a touch intimidating.

Also another Globular Springtail crawling across my mat.

This one was mega small, don't think it's as good as my previous ones on Saturday, but was quite pleased I got anything as looking through the view finder I could mostly see black, with a dark blur moving in it!

Blimey, these are macro.
Gross subject but really good shots.
I might never sit on the floor again.

Fortunately these little things don't bit. I think they're veggies.

lol, just don't like the idea of sitting on squished bugs.

I'll get over it.
