I don’t even remember if I first learned to call these sow bugs or pill bugs, or tomato bugs. Actually I think it may have been the last of those. And it’s a crustacean anyway. It’s also only the second tiny animal (after the spider in this photoset) that I’ve successfully gotten a good photo of.
same spider as in the previous photo. looks like it may be about to jump?
Among the dozen or so photos I took of this spider are the very first shots I’ve taken of very small animals that I would consider successful. Unlike almost all the photos I post, I’ve cropped this one to show a more close-up view.
Apparently this species is a sort of jumping spider. Maybe that means it’s a wolf spider? I’ll have to look it up.
Update: okay, apparently wolf spiders are bigger, so it’s something else.
