Macro shot taken a month or so ago in the garden of a bee. These where harder to photograph and get sharp as they move about more than you think... wings constantly going.

Ramsley Moor & Blacka Moor 180522

Linne's cicada, is a species of large bodied annual cicada. It is native to the Eastern United States and Canada.

There are at least nineteen species of cicadas in Florida, ranging from less than a ¼ inch to over 2 inches in length. Some people might be frightened by their size and sounds but thankfully cicadas don’t sting or bite. They are a food source for wildlife, including some bird species and mammals.

Hoverfly Larva [ID courtesy of Brian Valentine].

It was having a blast feeding on a dandelion.

Quietly resting on a branch, the grasshopper watches its world. With strong legs and careful eyes, it waits — calm, patient, and alert.

Blending in with the leaves around it, this small creature is both hidden and powerful in its own way. It doesn’t make a sound, but its presence speaks of balance in nature.

Nature’s Sentinel reminds us that even the smallest beings play an important role in the world around us.

Macro shot taken on the Camel Trail between Wadebridge and Padstow.
