I find the tiny details fascinating; the bristling hairs, the delicate arms and toes, the color coordinating eyes, and even the mouth parts.  I suppose it will never stop amazing my that so many tiny things – insects & plants – have even tinier bristles, hairs, or peach fuzz.  Details so small that we could never see them, but so important to their existence, their safety, or even hunting.

There is something magical about a bee that is the size of a grain of rice.  Well technically, it’s not a bee; maybe a hover fly or a sweat bee, I can never remember which is which.  Either way, the way they flit and float around is wonderful, and then they choose a spot to land; but I can’t imagine that the tiny fraction of an ounce is even noticeable.

“Morning Cleaning”:

Over the past month, I’ve really gotten back into insect photography, so for the month of August, you’ll be treated to an insect (and spider) photo of the day. 🙂  And to start things off a day early, here’s this cute ladybug that posed for me this morning – I think they just got out of the shower; they have a tiny drop of water still on them. Enjoy. 🙂
