I just bought myself a Surface Pro 4 and tried tethered macro photography for the first time.

These aphids on the underside of an ornamental plant were all the wildlife I could find in our garden. In all seventeen images under artificial light, focus stacked using Helicon Focus 6. Hopefully I can find something more exotic as it gets warmer.

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

Yes it is just a bug, but I like the composition a lot

Common in my rear yard.

A vintage automobile in the ghost town of Lake Valley has headlights like bug eyes. I bet this car was a beauty in its day!

I found this critter feeding on the Black-eyed Susans.

Our gardens are teeming with insect life if we just take the time to stop and observe...

Happy Labor Day everyone!

I'm not sure what this guy is-- he resembles a milkweed bug but I'm pretty sure he's not. [edit: subject looks like Lopidea, possibly L. instabilis, and the bomber is perhaps some sort of Lygus bug] At the time I took the photo I didn't notice the other unidentified critter hiding in the old bloom. The flower is from culinary sage. Glendale, Missouri

The red bug was careless, it didn't notice the spider in time and it was running through the spider's back. The spider was angry, but it didn't want to catch the red bug :-)

Or maybe it wanted just scare the spider! ;-)

graphosoma lineatum

I managed to capture this image of a small brown thornbill yesterday.

It had been successfully busy catching bugs - it has quite a mouthful!!

Hope you like this.

Please comment, view or add to favorites, this or any of my other images - much appreciated!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and week!

Spotted in the fields beyond Captains Wood on my walk this morning.

Morning hoverfly.... happy Friday!!! I used to live next to 2 acre lot and I could go in there and get photos like this all the time. The lot now has a house on it and now it’s so much harder to find these opportunities. All of my photos are taken out side, found subjects in their natural habitat.
