If you look closely at this Harvestman you can see several mites.

Excellent stuff.
Fantastic detail, & yes, it does look like the spider is sitting on someones head.
I don't mind spiders, but this one is rather gruesome, but I think that's because you have got so much detail & colour there.

WOW thyat is great. Lovely detail and the mites are a bonus.

Thanks everyone! Your c&c's are always appreciated.
Jacqui: I do have one more shot of this fascinating creature (not a spider really!!). They only have two eyes, and they don't have spinerets, so they can't spin webs. Also if you look closely they only have one body part - whereas spiders have two!! Fossils of Harvestman have been found in Cornwall, and they are largely unchanged since then!
Stunning close up Karen. Amazing details, you've captured this wonderfully.
Click!!!

Ye-ew... poor thing... Good shot though, and well caught! (Rather you than me!)
