    I can't see you tsaking pictures unless your beating the c**p out of some poor old southern poof types and want to put the results of your handy work on U tube you ard nothern monkey!.
    Joking apart they are good, I love jumping spiders get the black and white ones round here or am I getting confused with those black and white minstrel chaps who use to be on telly way back in the 1970's??, actually while were on the subject what was it with them?, I didn't get it then and I don't get it now, it's just to strange for words if you ask me.

    Have you noticed that some of the insects seem to have strange expressions on their faces? The female jumping spider ( bottom row ) looks a bit bemused and disapproving....perhaps she's not impressed by the male of the species.
    The Wolf spider (3rd row ) has a smile on its face, and the female striped horse fly seems to be wearing some jazzy striped sunglasses. :D
    They all look like aliens from another planet.

    Incredible photos, so thanks for posting them, Mell.

    Oh suncatcher there lovely looking little devils, I love the way they look, the Symmetry is stunning, remember their really small, you can see them on walls hunting round here in the summer, if you put your finger near them they jump on and of it, they're soooo cute, I love em.
