Now thats a picture for the books. Would make a good poster. Fantastic shot Jody, simply amazing.

Looks like you have a portable microscopethere Jody...wonderful shot. "How did the mosquito die?" (talk to the hand?)

You are right about that Jody...I have never seen an aphid eye before...great work

I like the way the two leaves on the left give the whole picture a 3D look. very sharp Tom

Very interesting find...like you said, I have never seen a wild Gila monster picture, always captive reptiles. I think it a great picture, very hot and deserty looking (is that a word?) It`s way to hot here to take pictures...I always get sweat on my Camera when it is this hot.

I agree with Paul on the moodyness (is that a word) . Like the last thing a bug sees after he is captured by him and "the lights are about to go out".

So, a sunflower is made up of thousands of little flowers??? I never looked at them that close. Very nice patterns and colors in this photo Paul. I`m waiting for some salted sunflower seeds

This is the larvae of the Golden Tortoise Beetle- Charidotella sexpunctata . Found him on my Morning Glory Vines, which they like to attack. As you can see in the picture, they cover themselves with cast skins, excrement and other debris to hide themselves. The head is at the left end and you can se...

Have a great vacation Nikola, and Keep that shutter going. We want a full report when you get back.

Well Ken, I thought maybe you found the cure for "HAIR LOSS" with the second picture. (I could have used that). I guess the mushroom is having a bad hair day. Excellent photos Ken, and thank you for the great info on the mushrooms.

That is one creepy creepy spider It is not posing like that for nothing, somehow it must make it a better Predator and thats the name of the game. Wonderful shot Paul

I always wanted to grow orchids but never had any room to do it. Thats when I found out about miniature orchids. These are not bred to be small, they are this way in nature. They run about $18 to $20 and they fit very nicly in my old fish tank

Nice going Nikola. Beautiful colors in this shot...I love that rich yellow and the dark green background and the butterfly stands out very nicely

Here is a picture of one of my Miniature orchids... Haraella odorata from Taiwan. The flower is a little less than 2cm long and the whole plant is roughly 6cm wide. This plant has not stopped blooming since I bought it in April 2005. It is a stick mounted plant (no pot). http://www.photomacrography1...

Not Asparagus Nikola. Here is a small pic of the flower. The flowers open up along the stem...Not sure of the ID.
