For as long as I can remember, I have loved creepy-crawlers. As a kid I spent my summer holidays catching snakes, grasshoppers, frogs, crayfish and whatever other interesting little critters I could find. Not surprisingly, when I became interested in [obsessed with] photography, it was really close-up and macro photography that fascinated me. I love photos of critters that are too small to see well with the naked eye. Of course, considering how my vision has gone down-hill, a water buffalo would now probably qualify…
Anyhow, I envision this blog as a sort of mash-up of photography, husbandry and comments about critters and nature in general. To be honest, I’m pretty curious as to how this is going to turn-out…add another page.
Wow, very special photo-blog!
I like it!
Hi from Sweden
Thank you very much! Hi from Canada!
I’ve always been afraid of small critters – or “creepy crawlies”. But I have to say that seeing them up close on your blog has made me realise they’re really not that bad. Thanks! :]
Haha! I was always attracted to creepy crawlies! : ) Thanks for the nice words!
Hi Ernie, I like it! Some great shots here! I like the series of picnic-pests taking the meat off the table – especially the wasps! Hi from Malaysia!
Hi Chris! Thanks for this! I’m looking forward to seeing your site when it goes up! For that matter I need to get back to Malaysia with my camera…

I never much liked bugs, but now that I’m garden blogging, I see them as “material” — even when they’re in the house. I also need a macro lens to see what I’m looking at. Great work!
Ernie, I’ve nominated you for the “Blog of the Year” Award. To see the nomination, visit the post: anotherlovelyday.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/thank-you/. I hope you have a wonderful new year!

Wow! Thank you!!!
Very nice work. I’m a biologist that was influenced by my father’s love of photographing nature. I’m sure he’ll enjoy your work as well!
Thank you! I certainly hope he does!
Grown up with an arachnophobic mum I only made my peace with these creature when I moved to Amsterdam. A few years later, living in Australia, the fresh peace lasted and helped a lot since all houses I lived in seemed covered in nature including mice and huntsmen spiders.
I did love to observe them hunt. So fast – it looked like flying to me!
Great blog! Very unusual views that we normally do not get.
Thanks for this! My mom was afraid of spiders too. Sadly she passed her fear to me too. But I always knew my fear of spiders was irrational. I finally cured myself by getting into tarantulas! I set up a dozen different tarantulas in aquaria around my bedroom. A couple of nights lying bed listening to them rustle around (terrified they might get out) cured me of my fear!
Really enjoying your blog – keep up the great work!
Thanks very much! Hopefully I’ll get back to posting more regularly again now!
Wonderful photos !! Best wishes from Lithuania! Good luck for You!
Thank you! Please come back again!
