First of the year ant-mimic jumping spider. I am holding the stem of the plant the spider is on - it shows that this spider is truly ant sized! #macro #macrophotography #ants

Backyard safari today. When I first saw this insect and I thought "beetle larva." Nope, as I got closer it popped a pair of wings and flew away! It's a rove beetle. Didn't know we had them here. #Beetles #macrophotography #Insects
