I know this is not that much compare to his excellent shots, i tried thats it.

'SELECTIVE FOCUS ON A MYSTERY CACHE'.
It was the lower right flower that I was focussing on.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I was aware of some kind of a mass on the lower petal, but couldn't work out what I was looking at in the harsh sunny field conditions.
Back at home and viewing the image on a large screen hasn't helped as much as I hoped either. I don't think I'm looking at Cuckoo Spit produced by a Froghopper, because the individual elements within the mass seem too uniform, level and aligned. This leads me to conclude it must be an egg cluster laid by an invertebrate of some kind, although there seem to be an exceptionally large number of eggs.
I wish I had spent longer with this find and made lots more images from different angles. I know it's not the most arresting image of a GWO you will see on Flickr, but it may prove to be intriguing and of interest to some viewers. I'm hoping someone in Flickrland can perhaps solve the mystery!

Hand held and in natural light of a Metallic Green Sweat Bee (Augochlora spp) on a Common Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis). The bee is about 0.4 inch long.
This really looks nice seen LARGE. You can do so against a black background HERE
If the black background doesn’t work, please view just LARGE HERE
Sweat Bee, common name for any of a large family of bees, many of which are attracted to the salts in human perspiration. Most sweat bees are small to medium-sized, 3 to 10 mm (0.12 to 0.40 in) long. They are generally black or metallic colored, and some are brilliant green or brassy yellow. Sweat bees are among the most common bees wherever bees are found, except in Australia, where they are relatively uncommon. There are about 1000 species in the United States, Canada, and Central America.
Sweat bees are particularly numerous in North America. Although their small size makes them relatively inconspicuous, hundreds may swarm over flowers in gardens or meadows. The different species are often difficult to distinguish. Most sweat bees visit a variety of flowers. They sting only if handled.
The life cycles of sweat bees vary tremendously among species. Most species nest in the ground, but some nest in wood. Nests usually consist of a single main tunnel having one or more clumped cells arising from lateral branches. In some species, the bees constantly guard the nest entrances.
A wide range of social development is displayed in the family. Some species, such as the common eastern sweat bee, have been intensively studied. Many insights into the evolution of social behavior among insects have been learned from sweat bees. Many species are solitary-that is, the female builds and occupies its nest alone. This is considered the basic, most primitive nesting behavior. In some sweat bee species, females nest communally, sharing a common nest entrance but constructing cells individually. Many species, including the common eastern sweat bee, show varying levels of sociality, passing through a continuum of stages in social development. In these species, there may be several egg-laying "queens" with the other nest mates functioning as workers. Sometimes generations of these bees overlap and live together and there may be a division of labor among nest mates. However, unlike many social bees, such as honey bees, there is little communication between adults.
In some parasitic species of sweat bees, females invade the nests of other bees and lay their eggs in the food stored by the host bee. The sweat bee larva kills the host larva and consumes the food. Hosts are usually other species of sweat bees.

This is another relative to grey star, with one extra layer added. I folded it shortly after cfc2 in Zaragozza, I don't remember anything more about it right now... There is a chance I will find a model and inspect it again. Having such a bad memory can be sometimes handy because I can be surprised again by things which I once made/know but it has big drawbacks too... Flickr serves as my external memory for all those details I tend to forget about models, connections and inspirations. I still go back to it if I want to get informations about models folded some years ago.

On the grounds of Matzke's Sculpture Park and Gallery on Camano Island, I was at a meeting!
Despite their name green iguanas can come in different colours, this can depends in which country they live in. Green iguanas possess a row of spines along their back and along their tails, which helps to protect them from predators. Their whip-like tails can be used to deliver painful strikes and like other lizards when grabbed by the tail, the iguana can allow it to break so it can escape and eventually regenerate a new one. In addition iguanas have a well developed dewlap which helps regulate their body temperature. This dewlap is used in courtship and territorial displays.
