........ found this tiny guy on my plant outside, I have no idea what it's called .... but I can tell you it's very tiny.

This little guy is about 1/4 of an inch in size while his legs are drawn in toward his body.

I tried this shot using the same lens combination as the Blossom Shots also posted in the "Other Cool Shots" thread.

Enjoy........ Skippy (Australia)

    Took me ages to spot him on the plant cause he was so small.
    In fact you cannot see those spikes on him with the naked eye, I only saw them when I was in his face with my Camera.

    Thanks for looking........ Skippy (Australia)

    Good shot Skippy- guessing a bit but I think it might be some type of nursery web spider- this type of spider only spins a little web for it's babies not for catching bugs.
