A spider and its former meal on the left. I didn't even notice the little bug. ~Sue~ |

That is an amazing and interesting spider type. I only know that it's some sort of orb weaver. Spiny orbweaver, from the pix I find when googling. ~Sue~ |

Crab Spider? No, I don't think so. Spiny orbweaver. ~Sue~ |

The Moroccan Flic-Flac. No personal encounters - but a fine reason to enjoy a night-in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1hctUr0E14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebrennus_rechenbergi#Behavior |

If you've got a fear of spiders, then you probably shouldn't check out this story. Remote school students dig up the mystery of Maningrida's aquatic tarantulas. In 2015, headlines describing the stuff of horror movies brought the tiny town of Maningrida, population 2,000, to world attention. Grant Darwin NT |

This tiny creature (some kind of moth) visited me today. It landed on a lampshade. It was no more than one inch from nose to butt. (I took this photo with my iPhone 7 with no special settings or lenses.) ~Sue~ |

How Close-Up Glamour Shots Are Generating Buzz for Bees The pictures were taken for science, but found a wider audience because they’re gorgeous and a little trippy. ~Sue~ |

Bee swarm creates alarm for pedestrians in central Hobart. A roadwork sign above a busy street in central Hobart has been swarmed by bees. Grant Darwin NT |

A roadwork sign above a busy street in central Hobart has been swarmed by bees. That's very surreal. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Got this image from Physics-Astronomy on Facebook. "Photographer Murat Öztürk captured an ant trying to take down a flying wasp" Tried to link directly to the image but couldn't. ~Sue~ |

The Dracula ant, nature's fastest mover on record, can snap its jaws at 320kph. Researchers say the tiny blood-sucking creature powers its mandibles by pressing the tips together, spring loading them with internal stresses that release when one mandible slides across the other — similar to a human finger snap.

Well I just gave a few dozen flies the head job of their lives, I doubt that I hear any complaints coming from my industrial vac. ;-) LOL |
