Always try to make eye contact, they say. I think I nailed it here...
Manipontonia psamathe is a species of pontoniine shrimp in the family Palaemonidae, commonly known as the translucent gorgonian shrimp or black coral shrimp, characterized by its small size—reaching up to 2.5 cm in length—and its translucent body adapted for life in coral reef environments. The coloration of M. psamathe is predominantly translucent, enhancing camouflage among the branching structures of gorgonian corals, with two distinct red lines running along the carapace and abdomen for subtle patterning.

Amber Ghost
In the curve of crystal’s hold,
light drifts through a molten gold,.
Each swirl—
a whisper of oak and flame,
half dream, half smoke—
slipping through the glass like a ghost with no name.

A sunny late afternoon with the light behind me, crouched under their birch trees - the "almost golden hour" sun really brought out his colors & iridescence; doubled my shutter speed & got a good look at his translucent wings (70-90 bps)!

Macro Mondays - theme: "Translucent"
Sotted these wavering reflections of trees - inspired by works I view from "Marylyn Jeans" - I loved the abstract feel of the image so decided to post my own. Thanks Marylyn!
Noticed this spider out of the corner of my eye one evening; it had taken up residence in a lamp, which made for some interesting photos. I would've liked to have seen it catch something...that could add another element to the shot
Another tiny Mycena mushroom growing on the moss covered branch of a tree. With the day being wet and overcast there was only dim light under the tree cover. We are seeing some Bioluminescence here, like something from the deep oceans. (Thank you Wikipedia...)
