t is not often that these little 10mm jumping spiders sit still long enough for a focus stack. Luckily this one did. 10-image focus stack, tri-pod mounted. Even though this was at closest working distance (i.e. 270mm), they are so small that I still had to crop a fair bit.

Insect

Insect was found as you see it and rescued after the shooting. For MacroMondays, space in between

Searching on internet it's a Rove Beetle (Ocypus ophthalmicus) original from Europe and Asia, but I'm in Cental America. How did it get here?

One of usual annual cicadas, freshly emerged in the garden...

~~Chez certains insectes, les œufs et les larves doivent être déposés précisément sur leurs ressources alimentaires. La femelle est donc très sélective lors de la ponte.

Chez certaines, elles pondent les œufs de manière aléatoire sur le substrat. Chez d'autres, Elles les déposent en masse sur le feuillage ou les posent individuellement sur le plant. D'autres pondent à l'intérieur des racines, des tiges et à travers des troncs d'arbres à l'aide d'un organe spécialisé appelé ovipositeur.

Les mantes, les blattes et certains orthoptères pondent leurs œufs en masse dans une capsule protectrice appelée oothèque. Cette mousse de protéines forme une carapace solide assurant une protection contre d'éventuels prédateurs.

Episyrphus balteatus

Spotted this gorgeous Hawthorn shieldbug which had coloured up very nicely! See 2nd one in comments for usual colouring, which was on the same shrub (cotoneaster). 1st one below is an alternative angle of above bug!

This immature male powdered dancer is munching on a tiny fly, it appears. This is the same one I posted yesterday, which was a wonderful subject...

Pretty in color but I thought the slight reticulation in the body was better suited for monochrome.

This hopper was the size of my thumb nail. I found him messing around in the grass with my macro lens. Was a pretty good find.

Designed for insects etc. to hibernate in, but in need of a feather duster to remove the cobwebs ..
