A photo of 4 crane flies (flies which resemble large mosquitos but do not bite) resting on a white sheet. The larger Crane Fly is a female, with which 2 males are coupled in mating. A third male is trying to get in on the action

A photo of the mating throuple now that the 4th crane fly has wandered off in search of another mate. The 2 males hang from the rear of the female.

A word combination I never foresaw myself using, 'Tipulid orgy' but HERE WE ARE 😂 This began as 3 male Crane Flies of genus #Toxorhina (family #Limoniidae) attempting to mate with one female, but finally settled down to a #MenageEtTrois...

Two curious, small, golden ants peer back at me from the damp soil.

A small golden ant faces the camera. The teeth on the mandibles can be seen (a diagnostic feature in some ant species).

The small eye of this subterranean species only has a few ommatidia. The golden pubescence shines on this ant in lateral view, making it look like it’s covered in velvet.

Some Yellow Meadow #ants (Lasius flavus) living under a rock on grass.

This is a hypogeic or subterranean species. Very small ~4mm long. They are covered in pubescence or fine hairs, which give them the look of golden velvet.

I could do a deep dive into the various species of Diptera, but I didn't

Happy #Flyday!

I was out looking for my glasses yesterday that I lost the last time I was up in the hills of Barcelona about 1 1/2 weeks ago which I didn't find. But I discovered new images to photograph like this little fellow. #insects #mothsandbutterflys #macrophotograpy #photography #spain #tibidabo

Small but mighty! This Zebra Spider looked pretty impressed with its catch.

beautiful yellow rose

How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.

Rising out of the bottom left of the frame are a few leaves that are needle like, slender and scaly. Among them are large cluster of tiny oval yellow fruits shaped like miniature pine cones.

A single feather caught on a stalk blowing in the wind against a dark background. The feather has a silvery sheen and could be mistaken for long silvery hair.

A close-up macro photograph of a single water droplet resting on a textured leaf. The droplet acts as a tiny lens, reflecting an inverted image of the surrounding trees and sky. The leaf beneath has a soft, veined surface in muted brown tones, contrasting with the crisp clarity of the droplet.

Just know I’ll be floating in the trees

Love me a rain drop!

tiny little white wildflower blooming over it's tiny green leaves in Bermuda grass. It's considered an undesirable weed. But is important to the ecosystem.

This little wildflower, ground cover pops up everywhere around here. They are so small you barely notice them until they carpet the ground.
