This is my first tiny world panorama, rendered from 26 exposures (3 rows of 8 pics each + 1 nadir and 1 zenith, i.e. 45° horizontal and 45° vertical steps) at 15mm FF focal length with an aperture of F 4.5. The images have been stitched and blended with Hugin in stereographic projection.
The common spangle gall wasp produces a small, disc-shaped growth, or 'gall', on the undersides of oak leaves. Inside the gall, the larvae of the wasp feed on the host tissues, but cause little damage.

ITALY
There is something about Italy, whether it’s the climate; or the food; the people; or the buildings and sculpture. All these wonderful ingredients, that make it such a terrific country to visit. It is probably my most favourite of all countries that I’ve visited to date. We’ve been there six times.
Close-up macro shot of fresh water droplets on a dark green leaf, showcasing natural beauty, freshness, and minimalism in nature photography.
A tightly clustered colony of Mycena mushrooms rises from the decaying heart of a fallen tree. Their delicate translucent caps catch the forest light like miniature lanterns, illustrating the endless cycle of decay and renewal. The scene captures the quiet architecture of the woodland floor — fragile yet resilient, ephemeral yet eternal.

Taken for a Photo Class - Photographing Nature with Your Digital Camera
Lesson 10: Macro Photography
Project/Assignment was to take a photo of three completely different items.
Ladybug (Coccinellidae)
A common name widely prefered is the name "Ladybird Beetle" or "Lady Beetles" as these insects are not true bugs.
North America had has over 450 native species of ladybug.
The Coccinellidae are generally considered useful insects.
The Seychelles Islands. 3 main islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Another approach at the famous beach of Anse Source d'Argent (yes, the one from James Bond). 360 degree panoramic view (miniplanet projection) of an amazing sunset on an amazing beach.
Mushrooms, to be, are forever indicative of tiny worlds. Smurfs, for one. Or bugs that use them as houses or umbrellas or bus stops. I also would like to live in a world with giant mushrooms, ones that I can use as patio furniture.
I like to dream big, and dream stupid.
Also, in case you missed yesterday's missive, Jet Pack is live -- so, go. Check it out. I have a new short story posted there for free.
Please to enjoy?
so these tiny native violets are all over the front lawn at the moment & I'm under strict instructions to not mow the lawn. I'm trying to work out how to get them to spread to the back lawn ;)
Daddy Long-Legs Facts and Fiction
To me the best part about taking pictures, especially macro photography, is that I learn about how much I really don't know.
I originally labeled this capture as SPIDER and then found out it isn't a spider after all, it commonly is refered to as "Daddy Long Legs".
Daddy long legs are arthropods (which means "joint foot"), but they are not spiders. Even though superficially they look like spiders, and move like spiders, they aren't. Sometimes they are called granddaddy long-legs, harvest spiders, or harvestmen.
Daddy long-legs are found on every continent except Antarctica, and it's thought that there are nearly 6,500 species.
They are omnivores and eat insects, spiders, pests such as aphids, dead insects, fungus, bird droppings, worms, and snails. Mostly they are nocturnal, and love dark places.
Daddy long-legs only live for about a year, and their life cycle is fairly quick. As they grow they molt, like other arthropods, and go through about eight growth stages until they reach adulthood.
Thankyou "The Infinite Spider" aka Karen McDonald ( infinitespider.com/daddy-long-legs-411/ ) for your information - now I know.
Cabbage Seedpod Weevil
From what I can tell this is a Cabbage Seedpod Weevil (Ceutorhynchus obstrictus) which was introduced to North America from Europe about 70 years ago.
Host plants of the Cabbage Seedpod Weevil all belong to the mustard family (Brassicaceae), and include canola, brown mustard, cole crops (e.g. cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) and cruciferous weeds (e.g. wild mustard, flixweed, stinkweed).
Like the flea beetle, it successfully over-winters as an adult just underneath snow cover, usually in field margins, shelter belts or where there is vegetative debris.
The Seedpod Weevil produces one generation per year.
Now I know ...
If I have missed identifying this "critter", my apologies.
