Backlit Juvenile leaf insect

Personal exploration into fine line drawing.

I have always loved drawing and feel insects and certain sea creatures have very interesting forms and leave lots of potential for intense cross hatch drawings...

Papallona (Mariposa)

A backyard visitor. Bird activity must be down when you find yourself photographing insects. Still, lots of fun.

Taken at nature reserve

Yellow ants (Lasius flavus). Not often seen above ground.

The adult female emerged shortly before I took this picture because she was still in her hollowed out crevice in the aspen wood. Her abdomen was still not fully pigmented, so she was quite new to the world (at least as an adult). I am really happy to have this adult-larva link to help further my skills (and perhaps others) as a naturalist.

A scary looking insect for Halloween. I remember being frightened by these as a kid. Really they are only dangerous to the beetle grubs they lay eggs on.

This picture of the wasp looks a little weird because I used a flash.

There always so many spiders and webs around, but none of them ever seem to have caught anything, so I watched in fascination as this spider wrapped up an unfortunate insect.

This one was found in my back yard.

I saw it because of the shining yellow movement on a green leaf.

I was just lucky to have the Marco with me.

I follow him/her all the time, but its movement is so quick. It made me mad and tired to focus

Under Marco, I discovered it has red lines on its body and feelers. Red + Yellow, wonderful combination.

The body is around 2mm long.
