Some beasties in the garden · 01:38 AM

A few bugs in the garden today. First a tiny spider taking residence on one of the garden chairs.

My first yellow roses are out and this one provides a bower for this courting couple.

Nice crisp shots, I think the first is a Lynx Spider but not sure what the beetles are.

Thank you for your kind comment and identity of the spider. The bug is a Harlequin Bug, quite common in these parts. Wikipedia has some info on them. Dindymus versicolor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just excellent shooting! The spider leaps right off the screen and the Harlequin Bugs are so clear and crisp with a gorgeous buttery rose in behind. Lovely shots Bruce!
