While I was out at the barn I went around with little Marco and Gabby to look for bugs. They are like half as tall as I am so they are able to spot the critters a lot better. 
You can tell its getting close to winter. Its TOUGH to find anything... and most stuff is damn near dead!
a little bush with dried up little pods on there. Interesting shot...
This is a dead moth that fell victim to a spider web. I was looking for spiders but couldn't find any. This worked.
Damn near dead lady bug.
damn near dead bug. WHen I found him he was upside down moving his little legs trying to upright himself. Probably been there for hours.
supa-fly!
This is one of those leaf cutter worms... the ones that wrap themselves into a ball if you touch them.
some sort of egg sack... possibly a spider egg sac
This is one of those little triangle lookin bugs that you usually get on you when you walk through high grass. Its like a mini cicada.
This was a growth on the side of a moss covered tree. Its not really moss... almost looked like a bonzai plant growing out of a full tree. Pretty wild lookin!
Another worm... this is like one of those little guys that you see when you turn a rock over.

Nice close shots.
If you wish to draw a spider out of a web without harming them then get a plastic drinking straw & cut the end to a point with scissors. This is effectively a musical reed. Put that end in your lips & blow..it make a high pitched vibration that when put the other end of the straw up against a web...sounds just like a distressed fly & the vibrations add to that convincing.
Now there is a problem here...we have an over excited spider dropping his beer + TV remote & flying off the lounge and out the front door like an F-18 directly at your lips. The shorter the straw the higher the pitch thus the closer your lips are to the spider. A game of chicken sort of.
I see your still having a heap of fun with your lens
Your flies eyes are spot on
Looking forward to the next lot Sirsloop .... Skippy (Australia)
