Small things seen up close. Work in progress…

The same "guy" from another angle.

I remember reading about a type of cell that had a little pump in it which I think was driven by a gear - google coming up blank atm...

Abbott and Costello…

Lovely colors. Not always easy colors to capture digitally.

The middle image with 4 sided leaves have hypnotic qualities. The repeating patterns make a very dramatic image. Haven't seen leaves like that before. Reminds me of the movie scenes in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Little worker.

Back to the anthill with some supplies...

Explorer…

I am not sure who these tiny bugs are on the periwinkle, but they were well color-coordinated.

I thought I recognised the snout so had to look them up. Google says weevils and it looks like one of a group called True Weevils.

Another weevil…

Nice contrast

The shape of potter wasps is really distinctive, a nice image...

A small bee, resting among the stinging leaves of a nettle...

The Lantana Wars

Wonderful colors and a curious situation: how did the scene end?

A beautiful specimen.
I think it might be interesting to reduce the warm cast of the lighting to recover the natural colors of the subject...
