I was shooting some midsummer flowers and found this little insect hanging out on one of the miniature flower stalks. He was maybe about 7mm long, and there were a number of them all over this particular plant. I don't know what they are, but after taking a look at the photos later, I realized how spindly they were.
Another think I noticed was that these flower stalks were covered with another insect as well, these were about .5mm to 1mm each.
You can see one of these little guys in this magnification of a section of the photo. See if you can spot more of them in the larger version at the top of this post. Again, I don't know what they are, but I'm kind of weirded out about them. What if we had taken a cutting from that plant into the house?
Actually, I've found that shooting macro photos of insects has made me far more accepting of them than I had been in the past. Perhaps it's because I have a view of what they are now, and can see what they're made of; the lack of mystery makes them less gross.
Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
