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.
Created using a small tube light.

The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a railway viaduct on the West Highland Line in Glenfinnan, Inverness-shire, Scotland, built from 1897 to 1901. Located at the top of Loch Shiel in the West Scottish Highlands, the viaduct overlooks the Glenfinnan Monument and the waters of Loch Shiel.
My advice if you want to get this shot is get there early, it gets packed
Barely 5 3/4" tall... this demure little S. Smith wooden repro of an early 1800's
German "Tuck Comb" doll is a little work of art, to me. I always thought her
joint-work was too pretty to cover with clothes.

Sorry for ignoring everyone's photo streams and not posting, Ive been busy and have had zero outdoors time.
BUT:
Got up at 4am yesterday, drove 4 hours each way (I may have an obsession), and spent several hours snorkeling in a creek with these ridiculous giant salamanders. Eastern Hellbender. They don't even make sense as an animal and I love them for it. Theyre the largest salamander in North America and can reach lengths of 2 feet. Theyre also extremely endangered but this population seems to be doing quite well for now. Also happy to finally be back to underwater photography! Not my favorite shot from yesterday but I do like this one a lot.

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.
Done for macro Mondays, theme Spiky
This tiny (length 3.7 - 5.7mm) and pretty ladybug earns its common name, "polished ladybug" with spotless, convex, and shiny elytra.
Thank you very much for your faves!

A 'Spotted orb-weaver' spider(Neoscona) enjoying its meal( a very tiny honeybee). I took this shot in our front yard garden.
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.

The greenhouse is giving me fantastic subjects to shoot.
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
I’m always delighted when this little visitor comes to my yard.
The white-breasted nuthatch forages for insects on trunks and branches and is able to move head-first down trees. Seeds form a substantial part of its winter diet, as do acorns and hickory nuts that were stored by the bird in the fall. The nest is in a hole in a tree, and the breeding pair may smear insects around the entrance as a deterrent to squirrels.
(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......
