been taking a lot of macros in the long grass near the house .. its like a treasure trove of very small insects .. also its spring here now and in the early morning or when its cloudy and bit colder the insects will let you approach and take their picture .. when its warmer they're a lot more flighty ..
this is a monarch butterfly, he's not one of the very small insects tho .. but i've been wanting to photograph one of these for days but its been too warm and i havent been able to get close enough .. close enough is about 5 inches away .. they usually dont let you within a couple of feet before they fly away so this little butterfly is my friend .. lol..
i have taken a lot of photographs of these wasps on their nest over the summer, but on the nest there isnt much variety .. same old same old .. there are only two wasps left surviving as they die off as the colder months approach .. the two left wont live much longer or will abandon the nest and go to some sheltered place & hibernate during winter ..
i decided to put a flower on the nest so i could get a more interesting photograph, hoping i wouldnt get stung, because i've read their sting is extremely painful !!..
i picked a few different wattle varieties and gently and slowly placed one of them on the nest.
the wasps enjoyed eating the wattle/nectar .. i didnt get stung.

The short days do not allow me to take good enough outdoor photos after work.
So here's to my imagination. Do you like that pinocchio has a pet octopus?
I bought both of them from Venice :)
a wasp combined with another photograph, both taken on the firetrail where i live .. i've used another photograph of water on the windscreen of my car as a sort'v overlay/texture ..
The Whistling Thorn Acacia has a symbotic relationship with fire-ants so that when a Giraffe eats the tree the ants come out and byte the Giraffes toung!

This bird would not cooperate when I wanted to take his picture.
