Yellowjacket grooming. Check out the next picture too, its tongue was showing there. This was just a better shot of the mandibles. :)

This Australian native bee was having a grooming session on a small stepladder.
Lipotriches (Austronomia) flavoviridis
Watching Chimpanzees in the wild is really amazing. Their behaviour is so reminiscent of humans and sometimes it's so easy to see that they really are our ancestors!

To visit the old marvelous French buildings through out Vietnam is also an invitation to a photo shoot for wedding pictures. I use the word "invitation" loosely as what really occurred is that no one said please don't take pictures.
There were always so many people around the couple usually fussing with the bride and her hair and dress. Because of this, it was actually difficult to get pictures of just the bride and groom. This is a special moment, however. No one is around and I can see the love, can't you? This is a completely candid picture. They were taking a break from the formal poses.
This is the first of a series of weddings through out Vietnam. If any of the brides or grooms would like to have me send them the images I have taken, I would be happy to do so.
A chipmunk engaged in a bit of grooming stopped long enough to make a bit of eye contact. It was well habituated living near a well used hiking trail.
Dumb title I know, but this Dicyrtomina saundersi was walking on water and grooming at the same time, many Globular Springtails produce a drop of cleaning fluid from the mouth, they then collect the drop with a leg, the next paragraph is from the words of Frans :0)
Dicyrtomina claws have a tunica, a kind of sheet at the outer side of the claw, closed at the basis and open at the apex of the claw. This tunica is filled with a secretion produced via the mouth. With the filled tunica Dicyrtomina can walk on dry surfaces upside down since the surface tension of the secretion in the tunica acts as kind of magnetic shoes. On a wet surface the tunica is filled with the surface film water. The wetting behaviour can be observed exceptionally well as follows: put some specimens in a small transparent canister and close the opening of the canister with a cover glass (e.g. a 0.17mm thick glass of 18x18mm used in microscopy). Observe the specimen walking upside down on the cover glass wetting his feet periodically.
The Dicyrtomina saundersi then uses this droplet to clean it's face and antennae, it can collect a drop on other legs to clean other parts of it's body, here is an interesting link if you wish to see this in action :0)
