Africa Wild

Stunning photos, BluTuna

The tiny shiny is a Monolepta sp.

Some more macros from my garden over the long weekend.

This beetle made arrived with a crash on Friday evening.



A tiny Carpenter Bee taking a drink on the Bottle-Brush bush.



Another tiny bee.


A Harlequin Ladybird.


A tiny spider with only 3 legs left.



A Planthopper or a Snout Bug?


A female Mosquito drinking nectar. While I was taking this, I had four of her sisters taking a drink from me!


Lastly, a Water Boatman in my swimming pool.

Incredible shots BluTuna - absolutely fascinating. There is another incredible world at that level isn't there?

Thank you MITH! I'm constantly astonished by the complexity that nature has produced; especially now that I'm starting to get results that do it justice.

How many things that we do not see, only because we do not watch or are not looking for them. They are actually fascinating

Superb photos BT! Love your backyard bugs!

Sometimes I only see these creatures when they move because they are so well camouflaged!
