Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three distinctive but interconnected units, or tagmata; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, one to three simple eyes ("ocelli") and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts. The thorax has six segmented legs (one pair each for the prothorax, mesothorax and the metathorax segments making up the thorax) and two or four wings (if present in the species). The abdomen (made up of eleven segments some of which may be reduced or fused) has most of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive internal structures.

A few more shots from my trip to Bosherston. I won't be around for a while so thought I would upload them en masse! See you all soon. I believe this is a black tailed skimmer dragonfly
HFDF - Found this little 3mm long fly on the garden wall, 8 shot focus stack. Sony A6000 and Canon MP-E65..
These beetles vary in size from 4mm to 7mm and are green in color with a metallic shimmer, which depending on the light, can look gold green, blue, purple.
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?
~~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.
