Correction

My bug walk was a total failure today, but...

As for bugs...

I had my camera outside with the zoom lens instead of the macro lens for a while today, and I took some pictures of a jumping spider with it. Then later, on my bug walk, I took a picture of the same spider with the macro lens:
