That's better Mark. What is that stuff coming out of it's back end? Gas, toilet paper, what?

Brilliant photos Mark, how many young does the wolf spider have? there seems to be a hell of a lot on her back (if that's the right term) and what is that coming out of the Leaf Hopper, looks like ectoplasm

Larry and Stygg,

Wolf spiders usually carry several dozen spiderlings until they are old enough to fend for themselves.

The leafhopper nymphs secrete a waxy substance that forms a "tail".

This Argus beetle larva actually does carry its poop around.
LOL Leave it to me to have a photo of one laying about.

Thanks for answering my questions Mark, I never thought bugs, insects were so interesting, fascinating.
