These were taken late last night (Friday). The moth had got caught on a web by our back door, hence the window reflections in some of the shots. The moth is probably a ruby tiger moth. The spider is Enoplognatha ovata, one of the small common spiders found in gardens. You either love (or more probably hate/run a mile from) shots like these. I like them! :bug:
As for today, most of my photos are of caterpillars, but I suspect I've already included enough creepy shots for one post, so today's efforts will have to wait.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.
