Critters On The Porch!

first we have an ant with a heart shaped butt: genus Cramatogaster

shiny little ant.  you can see the porch railing reflecting on her.

next a dusky Lasius ant.  this ant was VERY fast.  very hard to get a shot.

these ants are about a quater of an inch long..  Lasius you will find making a bunch of tiny volcano entrances to their nest along sidewalks and in other open places

next we have zebra jumping spider.  I should have tried to gt infront of it and get a good mug shot.

ok thats enough for today.
