Hiya Brian,

Excellent series of shots, my favorite is #1 knowing how small & damn fast these move it's amazing that you managed to capture two at the same time not only that you got a front rear view as well, pollen's not bad either :lol:

I was a wee bit under the weather a bit earlier today & was flat out for a while, when I recovered & went outside I found I'd missed a ' Lift of Ants ' sods law again eh :rolleyes:

Cheers for now
Mark

Nice set Brian but the Mossie shot wins hands down I think.

If I'm not mistaken, the Ant wasnt the only one that didnt get far..is that the remains of the male spider on the left? Excellent captures brian, love the mosq.

Thanks for the comments all much appreciated. Bit of an odd mix
I always see those little mites on this particular section of wall and wondered what they ate as the only thing there is some lichens.
The mossie shot was a bit worrying- holding the camera about 1/2" above the water surface of a water barrel.

Trevor- Yes did see the spider remains - not sure whether it's the remains of a poor male or not.
