Say hello to my little friends.
Here are a few critters I encountered in the wild vegetation of my parents' back yard. If you haven't noticed, the last several posts have been plant related. I snapped lots of material in my recent trip.
The wasp above unfortunately had to be sprayed, since its nest was attached to the deck next to the pool where our girls spent much of their time. In the photo, the wasp is dead. Alive, its antennae would have been extended above its head, not curled down.
The spider below was a little surprise I found under the curled edge of a leaf. I had been shooting a spider web, and came across its foreman, on a snack break. Union workers, sheesh.
At the end of this post is an OOF (Out-Of-Focus) shot of some sort of fly. I've included it because I find it pretty for reasons other than being a good macro/micro photo. I like the softness of the colors and the buttery warm light. And that the fly appears to be made of metal and chrome like a motorcycle or a helmet.
We've seen critters here at Morning Macro before: some kind of butterfly, cicada wings, bizarre tiny creepers and their even smaller buddies, the cicada face, a slug, a teensy tiny snail shell, and a blue dragonfly.

Below are the petals of a clover, those tiny flowers among the grass that bees love so much.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
