Saw this tiny spider that I could not identify:

And a colorful moth, my son says looks like a Peep candy:

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Your spider is quite tiny, had to look twice, thought it was an ant rolleyes1.gif

    The Moth is known as a ROSY MAPLE MOTH (Dryocampa rubicunda)
    Found in USA and Canada.

    According to my book their catapillars "Green Striped Maple Worms"
    can strip trees of all it's foliage.

    For a pest it's quite a pretty moth thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Interesting about the moth, I saw some of the same info when looking him up! I thought he was too pretty to throw into the sream for the fish - now that I know about them destroying Oak trees, I wish I had.
