Default Didn't realize what I had till I got home

I took some picture of a flower bed of Moss Roses. Most of the flowers are the size of a guarter, but can be as large as a fifty cent piece. I took my usual round of pictures trying different settings. I didn't realize I had taken a picture of the spider till I got home and went through all the pictures. Another one to add to my bug collection.
I was using a 18-55mm lense with a .42x fish eye lense. EXIF: Shutter- 1/640, aperture - f/7.1 , ISO 400 and auto white balance.

You got a little extra surprise with your flower! It must have been a very tiny spider.

It often happens that way with macro photography of flowers and other things outside. Makes you realise how many little bugs are crawing around out there

It can be fascinating although is an example of why you need to pay close attention to the whole scene and review the results while still in situ if possible.

I've done that myself many times. But on the other hand it can really make a photo if the lil bug decides to pose just right for you.
