Yeah, the moss had been hit by the rain
I love ant, it's a shame the wood ants are so aggressive, as I'd love to spend a few hours at a nest photographing them but usually you only have a minute or two before they're up your trousers and trying to bite whatever they can. I think this summer as well as spending a day trying to get dragonflie in flight again, I'll spend a while with the wood ants too
I really like the Nymph and jumping spider, pretty much because of how small they actually are. The Nymph was about 2-3mm long and the spider about 4mm. I think the camera gets closer than my 100mm macro +7D, though the image quality might not be as good. Maybe I can do something with the CHDK and motion detection so I can set it to take pictures as an ant runs past!
