Candy striped spider and Water scavenger beetle

   
Not a big post in keeping with the subjects.

I don't think I'd get these handheld photos with my 70mm lens, the Nikkor MC 105/2.8 S is a revelation.

Note, I'm aware that viewing/reading the text on an Android and probably iPhone is difficult. I've investigated and found the theme/template is no longer supported and I can't enlarge the fonts. I suggest reading the blog in landscape will help. The desktop version on a computer isn't affected. I'll look into changing the template but that would affect all of the previous posts, with all the problems that brings.


A Water scavenger beetle Helophorus brevipalpis. Probably the smallest insect I've photographed and managed to identify, maybe not to the level of variant, I don't have a microscope and it's 2mm long


Candy-striped spider Enoplognatha ovata and a Black Compost Fly which is a very small insect, and the spider isn't very big


10-spot Ladybird and a different pattern from the previous one in an earlier post, they're also very small
