The smaller blur of a spider on top is the male. Considerably smaller than his bride.

Wasp like insect ... minus wings

Neuroptera

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.

"Angus's genius is the embrace of what is wholly natural, if unexpected. Yes, the insects are real, and no, she has not altered them except to position their wings and legs. The species in this gallery are not endangered, but in fact are quite abundant, primarily in Malaysia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea, a corner of the world where Nature seems to play with greater freedom. The pink wash is derived from cochineal insect living on cacti in Mexico, where it has long been prized as the best source of the color red. By altering the context in which we encounter such species, Angus startles us into recognition of what has always been a part of our world."

Insect on Fungus

From a cicada, I'm guessing, according to similar exoskeleton images on the web. Very familiar, everyone has seen these.

Spent some time searching for the Katydid in the Four O'Clocks and finally found her lounging on an Ash sapling leaf. 8/4/2021

No idea what it's called but it was staying nice and still waiting for its photograph to be taken.

Dyme mamillata hatching. I wish I had a better camera so I could capture more detail. I really like the pattern on the egg :)

Haven't had a chance yet to learn which species this is, but it sure is pretty. Found him near the lotus pond.

A Humming-bird Hawk-moth - an insect that at first glance looks and behaves like a bird.
