It's amazing that when winter gets here, and the bugs are gone, that the few that we do manage to find and would normally pay no attention to in the summer are suddenly worthy of some time and effort. This harlequin was sunning itself in the 40 degree weather. Why is it that they are never clean and always have thread, hair or something on them.

    Lovely captures - You just have to give them a wash and blow-dry before you start :)
