This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Hi everyone, how are you, I hope you are having a nice day and are in good condition wherever you are. Yesterday I went back around the small forest to look for small animal species, and of course it was not in vain because yesterday I hunted in the small forest because I found two species of small animals, namely spiders and hoverflies, both of which have shapes and colors that look like they have their own characteristics, and the first one I found was a species of spider or better known by another name, namely Oxyopes salticus.

Oxyopes salticus is a species of spider belonging to the Oxyopidae family. This species is also part of the genus Oxyopes and the order Araneae.....Wikipedia

At that time I was walking towards the wild plants that were growing abundantly in this small forest, and when I arrived there I saw a species of spider crawling on one of the wild leaves that was small in shape with a slightly yellowish green color, and had eight thorny legs that looked very unique and at that time I immediately approached it, and without waiting long I immediately took several different angles of pictures and it looked very beautiful, and you can see below some portraits of this spider species.

Then I found another species of hoverfly or better known by another name, Episyrphus balteatus. And its small shape with its orange body color and red eyes looked so attractive and perfect, and at that time I saw it perched on one of the wild grasses and at that time I immediately approached it, and a moment later I immediately took several different angles of the picture and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see it below.

Episyrphus balteatus, sometimes called the marmalade hoverfly, is a relatively small hoverfly (9–12 mm) of the Syrphidae family.....Wikipedia

I find it incredible how macro photography allows you to see so many details, like that spider and the tiny hairs on its legs. It's beautiful to see! Excellent photos.

Thank you very much, glad to hear that you like it and have a nice day.
