(Paphiopedilum micranthum) Native to certain areas of the Chinese Himalayas, this critically endangered species was not even discovered until the 1980s.

Many orchids are endangered, mostly due to habitat destruction and over-collection. The IUCN has assessed 880 species of orchids, and categorizes more than 500 of them as Vulnerable or Endangered—and of those, 162 are Critically Endangered. All orchids are protected by CITES. It is illegal, whether for profit or pleasure, knowingly or unknowingly, to transport orchids across international borders without the proper paperwork.
San Diego Zoo Global assists in the conservation of orchids. The San Diego Zoo is a Designated Plant Rescue Center. The Orchid House, with more than 900 orchid taxa, provides an appropriate environment for plants that have been confiscated from the illegal orchid trade. Zoo horticulturists grow, propagate, and share orchids with other botanical gardens.

I know it's supposed to be "Pink Tuesday" but I'm hoping that my "pink" finger will suffice! Look at this tiny praying mantis. Isn't he adorable?
Mantodea or mantises is an order of insects which contains approximately 2,200 species in 9 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats.
A colloquial name for the order is "praying mantises", because of the typical "prayer-like" stance, although the term is often mis-spelled as "preying mantis" since mantises are notoriously predatory.
Thank you for stopping by to see my photo and for you views, comments and faves. They are ALL appreciated! Have a wonderful TUESDAY everyone!
A group of micro car enthusiasts arrive at the Saturday Cars & Coffee Event in Queen Creek, Arizona.
In the lead is a Velorex and theres a Morris Minor Traveller two cars behind it. I'm having a bit of difficulty with the car between them.
The Velorex is a Czech vehicle originally made for disabled people.
Update: Many thanks to China Car Spotting for identifying the colorful car in the middle as a Subaru Vivio!
This tiny forest of assorted mosses has grown in a plant pot left over from last year. There are some tiny coriander leaves in the middle which was the pots original inhabitant
Un minuscule champignon qui ne pousse que sur les feuilles mortes. / A tiny mushroom that grows only on dead leaves.
A quite tiny Leek Orchid and difficult to spot. I wouldn't have found this one had I not been on my hands and knees photographing another.Fairly common and widespread from Shark Bay in the north to Eyre on the Great Australian Bight. This one near Jerramungup in the wheatbelt.
Tiny Bee.
This bee was less than a quarter of an inch long, but I have read that very small bees are the most important indigenous pollinators in North America.

Found this tiny and delicate mushroom by the pond. I like to look for small mushrooms like this, you can easily miss them!
Have a wonderful Sunday friends!
Two tiny moons of Saturn, almost lost amid the planet's enormous rings, are seen orbiting in this image. Pan, visible within the Encke Gap near lower-right, is in the process of overtaking the slower Atlas, visible at upper-left.
All orbiting bodies, large and small, follow the same basic rules. In this case, Pan (17 miles or 28 kilometers across) orbits closer to Saturn than Atlas (19 miles or 30 kilometers across). According to the rules of planetary motion deduced by Johannes Kepler over 400 years ago, Pan orbits the planet faster than Atlas does.
This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 39 degrees above the ring plane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 9, 2016.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 3.4 million miles (5.5 million kilometers) from Atlas and at a Sun-Atlas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 71 degrees. Image scale is 21 miles (33 kilometers) per pixel.
The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Hold me closer tiny mammoth…

These tiny but swiftly-moving Clearwing Hummingbird Moths are just about the size of bumblebees...and they flit from blossom to blossom...
...much in the same manner as hummingbirds. Probably no coincidence there, Always an adventure trying to get the lens on the moth before it is already elsewhere.
Now I am on some steep learning curve for shooting with those lovely Box Cameras.

Bilora Bonita 66 + YA2
: Efke R50 / Rodinal 1:100 stand developing 1hr ( hope box speed )
iso50 at LV15 ( measure : highlight ) - full sunlight on early afternoon
EV = 15-1-1or1.5 = 13 or 12.5
so, f stop is 11 (Ev7) due to shutter speed is around 1/50 (Ev6)
in addition data .... iso50 means EV -1 and the filter factor of the YA2 is 3 (EV - 1 or 1.5 or so )
- such calculation is so fun for me.
I will catch up you later today.......

Virginia buttonweed: a tiny, white wildflower, as cute as, well, a button!
DeKalb County (Avondale Estates), Georgia, USA.
8 June 2024.
***************
▶ "Diodia virginiana — commonly known as Virginia buttonweed — is a plant species in the bedstraw family Rubiaceae, native to south-central and southeastern United States (and Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cuba). It can be found in swamps, wet meadows, marshes, coastal prairies, and in the mud along streams and ponds.
Virginia buttonweed is a branching, sprawling plant with small white star-shaped flowers (⅕ inch or 5 mm) of 4 petals apiece, that blooms in summer and fall. The leaves are often mottled because of a virus that attacks the foliage. The plant has thick roots by which it can spread vegetatively, thus it often shows up as a weed in lawns and other disturbed areas."

▶ Photographer's note:
It's a closeup. The tiny flower appears much larger in this image than it did in 'real' life. Just don't call it a weed!
