For those that don't mind spider, here is a good one. Woodlouse Spider, Dysdera crocata. Its main food are those pill bugs or rolly poly bugs, those things that roll into a ball when disturbed. Another spider tomorrow. I know, you can't wait.

Todays spider is a well camouflaged one in this flower, Misumenops Celer, all the spiders here and all the insects in the other posts are taken in the garden, plus all the birds too for that matter.

Won't win a beauty contest here either. That's probably the kind they blow up to giant size in the horror movies.
