Ladybird Beetle


Not much of an introduction needed here. Ladybird Beetles are so common even most children recognize them. No, the spots don't tell the age of the Beetle!

Scarlet Pimpernel


The Scarlet Pimpernel is a ground cover growing only about four inches tall. The Salmon colored flowers are fairly non-descript when seen from a human perspective. But boy was I surprised when I took one and put it under the microscope!

Milkweed Bug


Always thought Milkweed bugs were kind of comical, they often will hide, than come and poke their heads out to see if you are still there. 105 Micro Nikkor

Grasshopper

While Photographing the Deptford pink Flower, I saw this very tiny, about 1/2in. long, Grasshopper sitting on a very hairy leaf. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be the next focus of my attention. 50mm reversed lens.

Deptford Pink


  Deptford Pink is one of those delicate tiny wildflowers that often goes unnoticed. The flower is usually less than 1/2 in. wide and is found at the top of a tall thin almost grass like plant. Always one of my favorite wildflowers.
