Tiny insect

While I was taking out the trash, I saw this tiny grasshopper on my rubber plant. Before I take my camera out to take pics, I usually get close to the insects to see if they will run or fly away so I'll know if they'll let me take pics of them and not wasting my effort grabbing the camera. :P

You see that red leaf? That's a new leaf emerging which is smaller than the big leaves beside them. You can see the grasshopper so tiny on it. It's a baby grasshopper on a baby leaf I guess.

It allowed me to get close and didn't seem to mind. A lot of times, grasshoppers would jump the second they hear you so this is quite a surprise.

I was taking a while so it started moving lol. Thankfully I was able to capture it nicely even though I didn't use any extra light (only the sunlight). I also had the aperture set to f/8 to get more details from the subject instead of blasting the aperture up for light. XD Something I learned recently haha.

On the other plant as well, I saw this tiny thing. I really didn't know what I was looking at so I took my pics to see from my camera later on. It's so tiny and wasn't moving so I wasn't sure if it's even a living thing or just some random white stuff that happened to form an insect-like body. It kinda looks alienish to me. xD

I moved the leaf to see if it would fly away but it didn't. I think it slightly moved so I grabbed my slipper I was wearing cos I didn't wanna touch it with my finger and nudged it a bit. To my surprise tho, it was so fragile and it sort of broke off?

I still couldn't see what it was since it's really so tiny... until I reviewed my camera. Oh no, it's an actual tiny insect and not some random white stuff. Is it shedding something? I still don't know but I still feel a bit bad touching it.

From this angle, it looks like a moth but not sure. I hope it's fine. 😅

Another time I saw these on the opposite side of the window. I also don't know what they are but I don't think I've seen this before.

The white particles you see are from dried water from the window. It was already getting dark outside.

I took out my flash and this was the best shot with it. I guess with the glass window, it wasn't easy and you gotta have to find the best setting and position for the light so I didn't bother that much anymore.

While I took pics of those, beside was a tiny house spider. I don't think it was it's babies but just coincidence they were close. But also it was on the other side of the window so...

I think they are called jumping spiders. They're pretty harmless. I was just surprised it let me take pics when they usually jump quick when you get too close.

Pretty cool to see it up close. :D

Not an insect or an arachnid, but here's a tiny flower from a spider plant. I was surprised to see it the first time cos I didn't know they flower haha but it's so tiny and cute so I had to take a pic of it.

And here's the flower with the plant in comparison. ![DSCF9967.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiddenblade/244Ux4sq489T3vYxHkEiT4GC9xNkyLTmMwLjztbU3z9j3FehNyNsGGC2gCgaqXm69xWqz.jpg)
