User's notes
Noticed a tiny black critter jumping and running on the ground. Thought it might be a jumping spider, but only when bent double could I see that it had some red colouring. Difficult to photograph as continued to jump and run, but luckily my camera can see in a lot more detain than I can with the naked eye!
