As Autumn sets in and the larger, more showy insects start to disappear, my macro lens turns to the smallest creatures, so small that I can only see the details by photographing them and cropping. Each of these critters is much smaller than they appear here, hardly noticeable as they go about their secret lives.
Carrying your prey across a tightrope of the thinnest grass stem is just showing off.
I like to show these critters with plenty of space around them, to show how very small they are. And their landscape can sometimes be as intriguing as the insects themselves.
Oh man, these are gorgeous as always. This is your forte.
Thanks 🙂
What is that last one? It almost looks like a tick.
‘Tis a tiny spider and its prey.

Thanks, Andy. I am unphased by grumpiness. It’s one of my superpowers. 😉

Yes, there’s another world out there – down there. I’m sure you’re like me, scanning the footpaths as you walk so you don’t step on any ants etc.
