Small things seen up close. Work in progress…

Hola Bryan, good jaws, better not cross its path...

What an assembly, a laborious process, no doubt.
The honey thing is a good idea, but I tried it with sugar the other day, and with a piece of banana today with little success. It seems my ants don't like sweet things. I'll have to try McDonald's or something from KFC...

Another little spider waiting for its chance.

By the way, I don't think there was a more wilted flower in the entire park than the one the protagonist chose...

Bibio hortulanus.
This is a female, because the male is completely black, a little smaller and with huge eyes...

Hey, the male!

Bumblebees appear to be friendly.

With Sony a6300 and Sigma 90mm Macro.

A good capture, with good light, color and detail, with the focus on the eye. These are usually very restless, and are out of my reach unless I find them asleep...

You have this crab spider a little higher up. It's curious how you can find them on the same flower day after day...

Sweet tooth…

I found a cousin of your grasshopper the other day... I think he is actually a locust

Strange feet...

Nice and sharp.👍

Like the composition on this. The vertical petals make a very dynamic image. It almost looks like she is trapped behind bars.

Fantastic image. Very clean composition. Interesting about finding them on the same flower. Dragonflies definitely do that. They make a quick trip right back to their same perch.

They claim bug populations are in decline. Have you found this to be true?

Yellow and purple are yummy 🙂 together. Well done.

Having pics of both male and female is nice. He sure didn't get the colors like she did!

Guess he walks around on the globes and uses the claws to grab plant stalks? Neat photo.
