Garden Challenge #4: Insects

Well hello there, Blurt friends!

So I stumbled on @gardendiary 's post and thought I would give it a shot. (Link below for your reference)

Speaking of insects, I've got a bunch of those in my gallery, but the problem is that I am not familiar with their names or kind. So anyway, I live in between the farm and the beach, but I am surrounded mostly with trees and everything green (vegetables, home plats etc). I also love gardening and I think I am in the right place tonight.

So here's one photo of this tiny itsy-bitsy spidey crawling on my bittergourd plant. I think it is called "Baby Jumping Spider". They are so tiny like twice as big as those red ants. I used a macro phone lens to get clear detailed shots.

I found this little villain chillin in my garden one morning. Look at those creepy eyes like wanting to eat me lol. As per my research, they belong to a huge group of spiders. and they came in different sizes, shapes and colors. This one is kind of dark green and black combo.

I thought you can only find them in tropical countries like the Philippines, but according to what I've read, they all over the world except in countries where it has an extreme temperature like in the Polar regions. They don't need their webs when they hunt for their preys for the reason that they can easily jump. They are not venomous as well, so they're safe. When they land on you, you're safe. Buy hey, they are clear amazing eyesight and one more thing, their retinas rotate on their own. Crazy, isn't it? They can still see you without turning their heads on lol.

(sneaky sneaky)

So there you go. Say hi to my tiny bitty lil friend before I hot the sack. Happy new week y'all.

One love,
