Night safari

[Paul Iddon]

Just the others from the jaunt where I found the candy stripe spider.

Here is a cellar spider (entitled "when I grow up I want be.... a bigger spider!)

Here's a tiny spiderling that shows they'll take on anything no matter the size!

Next is a 2mm (max) springtail - I think it's Bourletiellidae.

Finally a close view of a blow fly.

The blowfly makes an especially good portrait for all the fab detail!

I love the angle too.

 

[Paul Iddon]

Thanks Asher. Often at night subjects don't spoil as much. It's just harder to find the in the dark

 

[Asher Kelman]

Is it that they are chilled and therefore slower to move?

 

[Paul Iddon]

Sometimes they don't move at all, allowing me to get very very close - though spiders are mostly nocturnal and they will run away.
