Little wonders: The modern household has created new habitats for many insect species, the destruction of one species leads the other to triumph. If we look closely, we can find insects inhabiting all around us, and they are wonderful to be discovered. Despite some airborne insect species are capable of spreading viruses, they are generally harmless - In Britain.

Cute orange bunny with slight flowery pattern, made of fimo clay and hand painted. 4cm (1.2 inch) tall.
Tiny creatures under rocks in fresh water. When I picked up this rock, I felt a few soft spots on the underside.Peering at it, I saw some elongated jelly sploshes with faint tabs on either side--pairs of legs! These multi-legged organisms were about 3 or 4 mm long.
This juvenile ensatina salamander takes a walk on a moss and lichen covered log. They spend most of their time inside rotting logs. I discovered this one while walking in the forest outside my parent's house in Longbranch, Wash. I put him on the nearby log, and after a few photos, returned him to his original spot.
Tiny creatures under rocks in fresh water. I didn't have my glasses on so these pictures were taken by cranking up the picture size and focusing on the rock surface. These multi-legged organisms were about 3 or 4 mm long.

I was roaming around while my daughters were having a swimming lesson and saw some small bugs. This is one of them.
Voici le membracide bison (Stictophelia bisonia), minuscule créature qui semble sortie d’un songe. Perché sur une feuille, il arbore une étrange bosse, comme un petit casque façonné par la nature. Ce n’est pas une corne, mais le prolongement de son pronotum, détourné au fil de l’évolution en forme insolite et poétique.
✨ Certains membracides se fondent dans les feuilles, d’autres imitent des épines… et celui-ci ressemble à un minuscule buffle végétal 🌱. Ce camouflage n’est pas qu’esthétique : il brouille la silhouette de l’insecte pour tromper les prédateurs, et pourrait même jouer un rôle dans leur communication vibratoire 📡, ces signaux secrets transmis à travers les tiges.
🐜🍯 En se nourrissant de sève, le membracide sécrète du miellat, véritable friandise pour les fourmis. Celles-ci deviennent alors ses gardiennes, prêtes à défendre ce petit “bison” en échange de sa précieuse production.
🌍 Originaire d’Amérique du Nord, il s’est installé en Europe au XXe siècle et se cache aujourd’hui dans nos prairies. À l’œil nu, on le remarquerait à peine, mais en macro, sa silhouette improbable révèle l’incroyable créativité de l’évolution.
