Purpose of ".fseventsd" and ".Spotlight-V100" folders?

These hidden folders are in my SD card, but what's their purpose?
Some one told me earlier that the .Spotlight-V100 folder had something to do the Spotlight feature of a Mac and the way it indexes the SD card, but as for the other folder I have no idea what it's purpose is.

Help?
-Thanks

Mac OS X (10.5.6)

The folder contains Spotlight metadata info required for the feature to work.

fseventsd is a File SYstem Events notification daemon that notifies Spotlight of changes in the file system.
