Harvestman with eggs (I think!)
Was really rather pleased with this photo - not easy to get right, and took a few attempts and a bit of swearing 
and even now the harvestman is a bit too 'blendy inny' with the plant But I rather liked it - and it was the one image I got where it did actually stand out pretty well! Thought it was insanely pretty with those red eggs too. 
At least, I assume they're eggs - I don't know anything about harvestmen.

Lovely clarity on that Z
Wonder whether it's worth rotating it 90 CCW and cropping it a little?

I was thinking about rotating it Azz - but then realised I'm so shamefully bad at Photoshop, I don't actually know how

They're not eggs, they're parasitic lice!! The red is from the harvestmans blood.
Nice macro though, if a bit gruesome!
