Glad to hear you're not totally insane.

Super shots again! You really make those little ones (which I find a bit, uhm, disturbing...) look beautiful and interesting.

Not totally, but I'm getting there

That's because they are beautiful and interesting

As I said, the creepy crawlies were out in force at the weekend, I still have a lot of pictures to post....

This is possibly a Spittle Bug but I'm not sure.

Two ants cross paths.

A Giant Green Mantid.

Yet another bug like the Red Bug but Black this time.

Dewi stole my line for these two pictures (on the "What-is-It" thread) but I'm going to use it anyway....

Which one of these is the lesser of the two Weevils? The last time I saw these they were also in this position - I don't think they are mating but I suspect the one on top is the male and he's stopping other males from approaching the female!

Eyes closed Nan!

A tiny Spider that I haven't ID'd yet. I had to use my hand as a background in order to get the camera to focus.

Same picture, heavily cropped.

OK Nan, it's gone now

I chased this moth around the garden and it finally settled.

The camera flash disturbed it and it flew under a nearby leaf where it started to flap around frantically.

It had been plucked out of the air by this Mantid.

Evolution is something incredible. I am sure that however strange these bugs look, there is a reason $\O$

Isn't it astonishing? Just when you think that it's as weird as it can get, evolution comes up with something even more bizarre.

Agree with Flutts!

And I'm sure even nan can look at that tiny spider.
