I don't know if these critters are really curious; it's all too easy to anthropomorphise animals.

Still, I know that when you sit still long enough in the local peatbog, insects and other animals will how up to check you out. Here's three of them:

For those who like to know such things: they are:
* [No English name found], (Carabus clathratus), getraliede schallebijter in Dutch;
* green frog (Pelophylax spec.), groene kikker in Dutch;
* raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus), gerande oeverspin in Dutch.

That last one can walk and run on water; think about that the next time you go for a swim in open water.

Thanks for watching!

I really love the picture of the spider and the swirling around each leg. Great shot!

These spiders are big, and while I am not particularly scared of spiders, it was good to have a 300mmm lens 8-).

They are a bit, aren't they? Seeing a big spider running on water is slightly disturbing even when you aren't all that afraid of spiders. The frog is cute, though.
