Insects from all over the world

Regard this fleeting world like this:
Like stars fading and vanishing at dawn,
like bubbles on a fast-moving stream,
like morning dewdrops evaporating on blades of grass,
like a candle flickering in a strong wind...
echoes, mirages, and phantoms, hallucinations,
and like a dream.
-Gautama Buddha
These teeny, seemingly fragile, very beautiful little Rosemary flowers are on a little plant in a 4" pot in the greenhouse. Is at max 1:1 magnification and also taken in aps-c, so effectively 1.5x, but with a 1.0 d.o.f. and a bit of a crop thrown in.
They were pretty awkward to photograph - I took some photos first and then uploaded in order to get an idea of what they were like, which didn't really help that much as even with the 20x was difficult to tell what was what on these pretty complex flowers, then I took a lot of various little flowers and angles but only a couple worth keeping. A bit hit and miss to say the least :^)
It's been a very wet Spring this year but at least the roses have put on an amazing display which makes up for the dismal weather.
have developed by accident a way to place orbital drops now, the problem being breaking the surface tension of the water to the syringe, will experiment further...
This tiny critter called “Woolly Aphid” is the smallest insect I’ve ever photographed. About 1 mm long.
