European Robin (erithacus Rubecula)

White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) on lavender.

Hello Tumblr, would you like to meet my cat friend who used to help me out when I was working on cars where I used to live?

I never knew his name, but he got me through some tough times. Thank you cat friend.

I know, I post a lot of Robins. This fine individual was very friendly and came within about 2 feet of me repeatedly. Didn't even seem to mind the shutter noise.

Crab spider (Misumena vatia) This tiny spider was in a very awkward place and this was the best picture I could get. They are apparently colloquialy known as a White Death Spider, which seems a little dramatic as long as you aren't a bee or butterfly, as these spiders wait on flowers to ambush pollinators. This image was taken with a Nikon 40mm lens on a 12mm extension tube.

The happiest moment of my life. Perks of being friends with a zookeeper. (who said after I got out of the enclosure "I can't believe they didn't bite you". Thanks dude, didn't know they were likely to!

Your photos are amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you, that means alot!

I shared them mainly as a confidence exercise because outside of my friends and close family I don't really show them to anyone.

It's been really great to see the positive reactions.

Wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus)

This cute little bugger was hiding in the back of my shed, managed to get a (high ISO) shot before leaving her/him alone.

Work smarter, not harder!

Crap phone photo but it made me laugh, the big snail was bookin' it (relatively speaking) and the little one was just sat there enjoying the free ride.

Both Garden snails (helix aspersa) I believe.
