It's about the size of your finger nail.

Shot a few days ago.; ▶ Reply to This

Yeh Macro is awesome - such clarity, I use Macro alot - My photos of the cat that has adopted us were all macro at quite close physical range too. It sure is alot of fun and am into capturing nature - which is somewhat difficult at times as one cant tell an insect/animals or flowers what position you would like them in or to pose and "smile for the camera"! (that old cliche!) and they are also not static eithter! So I say good on ya, nice one!

Great shot.; ▶ Reply to This

The spider was struggling a lot try to move this lady bug inside the heather bush (to its nest I assume). But it was having problems.

And no, I did not interfere. Remember the "Prime Directive"??
