My son is completely crazy about bugs. You can only imagine how this sits with my wife. I was visiting Canada a few weeks ago for my Grandfather’s funeral and was pleased to get a call from my boy. At some point I happened to mention that there was an extremely big ant crawling around my feet. The rest of the conversation involved him pushing/prodding/pleading for me to get a picture of the creature with my phone so he could see it. This was tricky, you see, since it was the phone I was using to talk to him. Nontraditional perhaps, but a nice moment for me.
This is (I’m pretty sure) an asian spiny-backed spider in the process of making a gorgeous web. I spent a fair amount of time getting myself into a position that would allow the sun to illuminate the web in a pleasing way. I like this shot…my son LOVES this shot.
