Not a very well focused image, but considering that I used a 10X microscope eyepiece and did it handheld it is okay.
The eye spots can be seen through the skin of the egg case. The length of this egg is about 1 mm.
Fossil insects in amber. Photographed by transmitted light wit ha digital camera held up to the eyepiece of a simple school microscope.
wings of a yellow dragonfly. i took this shot while exhibiting (and attempting to sell) my photographs at an arts & crafts fair on cape cod. this beautiful yellow dragonfly flew into my tent, but landed on the white mesh side panel of my booth, which was a poor background for capturing his image. i shooed him to see if he would land on one of my photographs, but he took off to the booth across from mine, which happened to sell stained glass items. He took up residence on a stained glass christmas candle where I took several shots of him from behind, looking toward my booth. this shot is one of the macros of the bottom set of wings and part of the trunk. The yellow in this photograph is the dragonfly, not stained glass.
A female Alaptus sp. found in the garden birch tree. Most likely an Alaptus schmitzi, but keying brings it to A.eriococci - a species that is only found on the other side of the Atlantic. The similarity between these two species means the greatest likelihood is that this one is A.schmitzi with a longer antennal scape. But ...
I spotted these insect eggs on the frame of my french doors. They kinda look like Lacewing eggs, but I have never seen lacewing eggs so entwined..
A female Anaphes sp parasitoid wasp of the Mymaridae found in the garden. Looks slightly different from previously found species. Bottom picture shows hind tarsi. Wondering about A.gauthieri, and that would be a remarkable find. A slide will be made in due course for definitive identification - and has now been done with the species confirmed.
Soft and gloomy
Staying started to unglue me
And I knew that I couldn't win
Wanna steal your love, stop hold the dove
Just to pull my good luck in
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
Same old story, yeah it's getting kind of gory
Throw my all time low away
Spit turns into treasure, taste the blind side of life
Choke words that I can't say
No gun, no bomb, no way I'll run
Too bad, I'm not in shape
Too little, too late, that deal's so chaste
Do burning hands seem to care?
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
On a leaf, on a leaf, I'm just hanging on a leaf
All right, I'm ready--the wild sound's gonna take me away
That beat's so steady
Make me fall to my knees, just start crying
No, no, no no no no no no no please no
I'm just an insect on an oak leaf, baby.
