This Green Lynx spider was basking on this milkweed leaf in luke warm sun rays of dawn.
The best part I like in this picture is that one can count all 8 eyes of this jumping spider!
Last night it dropped to 3°F (-16°C) and we had a light dusting of snow. Needless to say, I had no inclination to go out taking pictures this morning. Once the temperature had crept up above 10° this afternoon, I ventured out for a few quick shots.

A brightly-lit yellow leaf at the Eden Project.
Folded from a single piece of square Harmony paper. [15cm square] I coloured the centre part of the paper green for the clover. This model was created in 2002, adapted from Prof. Shuzo Fujimoto's "Crowding Butterflies".
Mari Michaelis has posted video instructions for Prof. Fujimoto's "Crowding Butterflies" here - www.spitenet.com/origami/Crowding-v.shtml
And the crease pattern here - www.spitenet.com/origami/pdf/CrowdingButterflies.pdf
You need to change some of the folds in order to simplify it for folding the "4-Leaf cLover".
Found in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Leaf mines are trails left within leaves after being mined by herbivorous insect larvae. The adult female lays her egg(s) within the mesophyll, giving the hatchlings access to the nutritious inner layers of the leaf, both allowing the larvae to exclusively consume the high-nutrient contents of the mesophyll rather than the cuticle walls, which often contain toxic defenses from the plant, and also protects the larvae from predators in the outside world. You'll notice that the trails start of very thin and narrow, but end up large and thick. The red coloration is likely frass, also known as bug poop.
Leaf mining is not unique technique, although it's surely innovative. Many groups of insects have convergently evolved leaf mining, including flies (Diptera), moths (Lepidoptera), sawflies (Symphyta), as well as some beetles (Coleoptera) and wasps (Hymenoptera). The morphology of leaf mines is, thus a somewhat useful diagnostic character, although I've yet to determine what sort of critter made these.
Fall is among us.
Froze a leaf in a 9x13 dish and then shot it from above, with a SB800 at 1/4 power from underneath with a really tight homemade gridspot attached.
Taken for the Macro Mondays Theme of "It's all about the shadow".
I like the way that the veins of the leaf are shadowed against the bright green areas.
