    Brian I would love to find a Springtail, the first time I ever saw you post a shot of one of those little guys I fell in love with those little critters.

    Apparently we have them here too, but I have never ever seen one.
    I gotta keep looking :D

    The Leaf Miner Fly's face makes him look like an old man rolleyes1.gif

    Another great series from you Brian.
    Thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks for the comments everyone - much appreciated :)

    T - Springtails are one of the most numerous families on earth so I'd be very suprised if there are none in your garden.

    Great shots Brian. The money spider has a body that looks very similar to a black ant.
