This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Good evening everyone, and I hope you're all having a wonderful day and staying well, wherever you are. As usual, I have nothing to do outside today, so I'm back hunting for small forest animal species. Upon arrival, I immediately explored the small forest, hoping to capture some small animal species for today's post about macro photography.

And a few minutes later I found a pile of rotten and dry wood, and at that time I accidentally saw a species of spider known by another name, namely Hyllus, and at that time I immediately approached it to see it closely, and while holding a smartphone camera and at that time I immediately took several different angles of pictures and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see below some portraits of this species of spider.

This species of spider has a rather large body shape with a black body color and has white hairs covering its entire body, and has eight legs that look so unique and two round eyes that look so eye-catching because they are very beautiful, and at that time I took several different angles of the picture to see the interesting side of this species of spider, and I hope you like it.

_{Hyllus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species occur in Africa and Madagascar, with many in Australasia and north to India.....Wikipedia}

Then I continued my journey exploring this small forest. And suddenly I saw a lot of wild ferns growing abundantly in this small forest, and found a small moth species that looked so interesting that was crawling on one of the leaves of this wild fern, and this moth is known by another name, namely Scopula and at that time I immediately approached it and took several different angles of pictures and it looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see below some portraits of this small moth species.

_{Scopula is a genus of small moths belonging to the family Scopulini, family Geometridae. Like most members of the Geometridae, Scopula in its larval stage is known as a 'killer caterpillar.....Wikipedia}
