Hi Brian,
Thanks for the comment....

Here, the jumping spiders are not so little, and they jump AT you!

And ever since a Wolf spider as big as my hand fell from a wall next to my head, make a loud 'thump' when it hit the ground, and then sprint towards my leg, I've been a bit arachnophobic! :oops:

And thanks for the info on the drone fly hoverfly.

Still feeling like a beginner in macro, I'm pretty useless at naming what I photograph :lol:

Cheers for now,
Simon
