A gall midge larva and its open gall. This midge gall is found on sallow leaves. Each gall has one larva and up to ten galls can be fused together. This larva is about 1.5mm long and seemed like a good test for my new mirrorless camera. :-)

I've tried shrinking Midge about a month ago but her head stayed the same size. I redipped her head in diluted acetone again and her head has significantly shrunk. It's not quite collector sized but it's better than before....

A lot of you will have seen photos in my photostream done by local artist My Dog Sighs, but there are a lot of talented artists in Portsmouth, including a lady called Midge. Here is an example of her work.

Midges are usually not a big problem in November but I wouldn't want to be bitten by this one.. looks dangerous! : D
Cassette Tapes - This brings back many fond memories. Way back then, my friends and I would request our favorite songs on the radio and wait for it to be played on air so that we can record them. That became our playlist and anthem. Cassette tapes were quite expensive for students like us, so we have to save up for them or otherwise borrow from each other. Now things are a lot easier, but our music lives on :)
Dean wanted to sell his lovely brunette Midge, so I gladly offered her a home. Here she is settling into her new digs. I love her in the striped knit separates (she also came with similar striped knit items in a very nifty giftset that I would love to own someday!) but I was a little over those yellow knit pants and that blue knit skirt, so I paired the top and sash with those striking red PAK cotton capri pants and blue wedge heels.

I was looking out for wild fruits in my village when I noticed this beautiful Owlfly perched on a twig.
A closer inspection revealed a tiny biting midge busy perched on the abdomen of the Owlfly and feeding on it.
I didn't have my camera on me. It was at my home. I had to pass through multiple coffee estates crossing multiple barbed wire fence and walk quite a distance to get my camera. So I thought i'll make do with my phone. I was photographing it on my phone, but my mind kept on nagging me to go get the camera. I finally had to relent and make the arduous journey to my home to get my camera and tripod.
I started walking back, frequently taking a look at the twig with the insect to fix it's location in my mind.
I would have hated to carry the gears all the way till here only to realize I have lost the exact location.
I finally made it. Got my camera and tripod, found the insect as is. Set up my gear and got a few shots while enjoying the beauty of this creature.
I waited for an hour. Nothing happened. Neither the Owlfly nor the midge budged.
