 More from the world of the tiny.

Insects - Aside Volume 5

A mixture of insects and spiders, predators and prey.  Kind of a miserable life when you are born/hatched and then spend the rest of your life hiding from death.

Swept wing dragon fly....

If you're not large, be scary. 

 Think you had a bad day; at least you didn't get eaten. 

 His/her Mom thought he/she was cute.

Insect-Aside Volume 4

Aphid ranching, predation, and SPIDERS.

Above and two below, ants herding aphids.  Ants feed and protect the aphids and the aphids in turn provide a sweet, nutritious secretion for the ants.  Everyone is happy. 

American Hover Fly getting a taste. 

SURPRISE!!!

The shot above shows a spider which lay in wait for the hapless honey bee on a thistle..

The Bridges At LaBenite

                  Hiway 291 Bridges over the Missouri River at Sugar Creek's LaBenite Park.

Insect-Aside Volume 3

More from the insect world.  The shot above was taken by reversing a 50mm lens using an adapter.  Turns it into a super macro.  You have to get really close though and a lot of bugs won't put up with that.

 All photos taken with the Nikon F4 using Kodachrome 25 or 64.

 Just enjoying the view.

 Above and below, bugs in love..... nsfw
