I think the hardest bit of doing the @licheomancy.bsky.social #SuperGothic challenge, was not just picking 27 spiders! I used a range of #EarthlingCards galleries to choose some photos, to use a background removal tool on. And then the free befunky collage maker. #Australia #macro
Awesome zombies monstering delicious flies
ants and moths and even an aphid serving as fungi food
Some of the spider eating fungi are difficult to keep still enough for group photos like this, so I had to use modern technology to achieve it, using montage
I always mean to take more photos of this species but I find all the clicking really annoying
Messing around removing some backgrounds from #zombie #Fungi photos in the #EARTHLINGCARDS galleries :) And you can too if you buy the same ones. You can do anything. Obviously as yer awesome as. Rock your day :)
A selection of #EarthlingCards photos, showing the many decoy life forms that frequently fool learning #zombie fungi hunters. None of these are entomopathogenic fungi, but would they fool you? #NoRestForTheDead
