A teeny tiny red spider on the small fruit of the catchweed or bedstraw plant.

"Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain." ~ Henry David ThoreauThe bedstraw or catchweed (Galium aparine) plant is running rampant behind our fence. It produces these small prickly fruits that measure 4-6mm across. I took this picture with the bird feather as a background to show texture and give a sense of scale, but didn't see the passenger attached to the small stem until I downloaded to the computer. It is some sort of tiny spider, bright red and no more than 1.5 mm in length. For travel purposes the creature picked a perfect place to land as the spiny fruits are extremely sticky and end up as little burrs on shoelaces, jeans and in dog hair. This is truly a "small wonder".

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic
however , I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog
post or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the
same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest factor
to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same
time as other folks consider issues that they plainly do not
understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also outlined out the entire thing
with no need side-effects , other people could take a signal.
Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
