I got luck and panned an ant

Yes, I got lucky, I admit it. Lucky with not one, but two bug shots. The first is a spider from the other day. If you look carefully you can see it's starting to work on a web. Doesn't it sort of remind you of the face-hugger from the Alien movies? Maybe that's what spiders dream of.

And the ant was frisky, up and down the rose, back and forth. You might not be able to see it in this version of the photo, but if you look at the tips of the thorns, they are a bit motion blurred. I didn't care what of the plant was in focus or not, I was trying to capture the ant. Look at it's little legs. The part closest to the body is almost in focus, and the ends are a blur.
