 The spider that I have been monitoring and feeding is no longer on the dried flower where it has been since 16 May. 
While searching for it, this little mite caught my eye  - at first I thought it was a small red ant, but it turned out
to be a Jumping Spider. It was moving quite fast over a flat piece of shell and kept stopping briefly to raise its head
and throw its front legs up. Probably trying very hard to look big and dangerous....!
