This fly was tiny, about 2 or 3mm long at most. I was really surprised to see that it was eating an even smaller insect (maybe a springtail). Due to the size, I couldn't even see its meal till I looked at this photo on a bigger screen. Photographed today at Lake Waterford in Maryland.

This is a very tiny, self seeded Geranium which my wife named Tiny Shepherd thinking it was self cultivated.

And which Achim informs us (and my wife agrees) is a Cut leaf Crane's-bill.

It wasn't very floriferous and being so tiny - I lost count of how many images I took, back and forth big screen to plant until I got a couple that I was happy with - lots of binners (seriously). It was worth it though, little gem.

On a daisy fleabane flower. Now I'm going to have to try and identify it.... any help would be appreciated. Maybe some kind of weevil?

I don't usually photograph squirrels, but this one was the smallest and cutest one I've come across.

This tiny wire brush attached to a drill motor can clean very small rusted elements.

Tiny blue butterfly on daisy flowers from my garden

Tiny Terror - After mating with the female in the previous image, the male flew to a low branch very close to me before heading out to hunt again and bringing back a Western Fence Lizard. I always wanted a close up of a pygmy owl on a clear perch and finally got my wish 9 years after my first sighting in Oregon in February 2014. As with all my owl images, no playback ever used, this male was just that indifferent to our presence.

Species: Northern Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium californicum)

Location: Southern California, CA, USA

Equipment: Canon EOS R7 + RF 100-500mm IS

Settings: 1/60s, ISO: 1250, f/7.1 @800mm EFL, Handheld, Electronic Shutter

Thank you very much for your faves!

I know, it's a fuchsia. But I have always seen little ballerinas when I look at these flowers, hence the name.

This tiny (length 3.7 - 5.7mm) and pretty ladybug earns its common name, "polished ladybug" with spotless, convex, and shiny elytra.

Tiny desert flower easy to step on.

This whimbrel was picking up these miniscule crabs, one after another. Seems like a waste with such a giant bill. I'm sure they're tasty though...

Have a good one.

A tiny CP T07 rolls west in the heat with only 6 cars from IKO in tow. The early morning mine run was cut short after they came across about 300ft of washed out trackage. They turned back for Havelock yard and were only able to take a few valuable loads from IKO to Toronto.

(There's a problem with this one not showing on the Flickr feed - again! Thought they had solved it but apparently its back)

These tiny blue beauties really are very small, similar to, but smaller than forget-me-nots.

It's a very interesting plant the Brunnera, grown mainly for its exotic ground cover, almost succulent foliage. It has.largish, ornate leaves and wehn they begin to show again after winter it also sends out these lovely little flowers. This variety is called 'Jack Frost' .

I'll paste a photo of the foliage in the comments below so you can see......

Un bonheur de passer 1 heure dans un champs de fleurs!

A joy to spend 1 hour in a flower field!

my friends found a baby chipmunk one day so they took care of him for a while, but eventually had to give him to an animal rescue because he was so young. he didn't even have his eyes open yet!

.best viewed large.

I spotted this beautiful, green-eyed, adorable, and super small (just under 2 mm., barely bigger than a poppy seed) beetle on a boulder near a waterfall in Montana. The water drops on its back are micro-droplets of mist from the falls. It's a ladybug/lady beetle, I believe in the genus Hyperaspis, the Sigil Lady Beetles. "Sigil" means an inscribed or painted symbol considered to have magical power. So don't mess with this tiny bug.

Spotted this tiny waterfall while we were slowly cruising through Glacier Bay.

Also, I'm quite amazed that any vegetation can live in such harsh and freezing cold weather though. 🤔

Have a wonderful day, everyone...

I think they are pretty amazing. She is new, and

微小的微笑

这杂草

也学习开放小小花儿

朝向朝阳

天真的微笑

虽不抢眼

只因太微小了

世人视而不见

甚至践踏脚下

但是

它没有放弃

短暂

渺小

的一席空间

伟大的创造主

慈爱天父

不惜为它打扮

鲜艳

芬芳

细腻

雅致

这美丽的小花

必定不是

偶然

随风飘扬的小花瓣

献出

无声的赞美

Last month, back before the snow and cold hit, I was out looking for signs of spring. The unusually warm winter had lulled us all into thinking spring was just around the corner. How wrong we were!
