Red spider mites fighting in a territorial dispute ☺️
Today I was watching some red spider mites in the sun and they are quite fascinating. There are some with long front legs and flatter bodies and others with short legs and more rounded bodies - not sure if these are male and female, juvenile and adult or different species even. The ones with the long front legs appear to patrol a 'territory' and any other mite with similar long front legs that enters that territory is challenged in a fight; the ones with short front legs and round bodies that enter the territory are ignored. These things are really small, probably about 1mm long, and surprisingly fast, so I had to get inventive with some extension tubes and a reversed macro lens to get the magnification needed which is now somewhere about 3:1 - macro is anything of 1:1 or greater so this is approaching the limits of what is possible in the field. The images have been cropped for framing and to provide further 'magnification'.
You'll note that the mites have 8 legs not 6 so are not insects but are arachnids, related to spiders, ticks and scorpions.

no photoretouch. It is not digital.
Photography concept
The camera is used instead of the brush.
expresses it with the camera.
I want to take a photograph like a watercolor painting.
I want to express the picture in the photograph.
searches for the focus to cut one hair gently.
There is a reason why I use classic reversal film.
I like digital Camera. However, it challenges very difficult reversal film.
I want to establish the SATOSHI style.
I am not interested in the camera and the lens.
It is interested in taking a picture of the work of very high Quality.
I understand English from the WEB translation.
However, the WEB translation is imperfect.

Different yet similar...Damselflies, typically being smaller than dragonflies, are sometimes confused with newly moulted dragonflies. The distinctions that set them apart: most damselflies hold their wings at rest together above the torso or held slightly open above, whereas most dragonflies at rest hold their wings perpendicular to their body, horizontally or occasionally slightly down and forward.

Special thanks to Klaus Franck for the testimonial he wrote for me.
I was on pins & needles all day worrying about Jasmine so went to visit my praying mantids as they will soon be gone for the year. So these will be my last shots of them~ Praying Mantis (Mantis religiosa.)
Jasmine is doing well....along with dental cleaning, the vet removed a small mass from her eye area and unfortunately had to extract a molar that had absessed. She is sound asleep nearby....
