On the aforementioned Eastern Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum; Durham NC, USA), I was pleased to find:
Soft Scale Insects - family Coccidae (~1-2 mm)

A helpful entomologist on Facebook identifies as:
Brown Soft Scale - Coccus hesperidum
Some of the scale insects have been parasitized by wasps, so we have a hemiparasitic plant, a parasitic insect of that plant, and a parasite of that insect--parasites all the way down.

This old scale has been sitting around our house for years. I think my wife got it as a wedding present some 12 years ago. There's not telling how old it really is. We always liked the rust patina and thought it would be a good subject to photograph, but have never gotten around to it before.
Tonight I had to take something of value. It has been about a week and a half since I've taken anything of note.
For this shot, I had one light on level with the face of the scale and to the right of the image. I had my handy-dandy black backdrop behind and underexposed.
Only post-processing in Photoshop was an adjustment layer for contrast, set to 45% opacity (no adjustment in the dialog box) and resizing.
Please critique honestly,

Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes...
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
Restriction: It can be set up by man ( ie: salt crystalizing,water freezing ) but can not be constructed by him (man).
Dare: Something other than a macro.
WIT: This is the skin from a rattlesnake that picked the shade of the wrong tree one hot day several years ago. I was with a group of people in southwestern North Dakota on a paleontology field trip. Upon returning to our camp site under a group of cottonwood trees this former snake struck out at a passing person...without the traditional rattling first. Out came the shovels and a few moments later the snake was shorter by a head. That was nearly twenty years ago and the skin is still hanging around in the garage. According to the web, a snake hatches with a fixed number of scales. The scales do not increase in number as the snake matures nor do they reduce in number over time. The scales however grow larger in size and may change shape with each molt. The darker portion in the middle is the back of the snake, the wider scales to the edges are from the belly. Light by afternoon sun, sharpened and cropped.

Did you know that butterfly wings are covered with microscopic scales? I used fish leather with a visible scale pattern to cover the spine. Conceptual. No?
(You can find all colors of fish leather at fineleathers.etsy.com).
