1# - Calliphora sp.

2# - A Fossil from a Stink Bug lol

3# 4# 5# - Hoplandrothrips brunneicornis aka Red Tube-tailed Thrip (larvae)

this last one are extremly little...they measure less than 1mm, the pictures are not good, ok, but I wanted to share my discovery.
they are extremly shy and they love to eat fungus on the trees. the thing is that they are hard ro find. expecially as a larvae. good find uh?

it is a true art to photograph these little creatures and depict such beauty! If it were not for you, Ricky, I would completely overlook and take these bugs for granted. Thanks for opening my eyes! ????? · 2011-01-17: 09:07
