Tiny Magnifications

I love snapping photos of these little bees so I can admire how they’re made. They truly are intricate! I often wonder how something appearing so flimsy and small can help they to fly and even move so fast!

A tiny grasshopper on group of blooms can be so easily overlooked, then become magnified through the lens. I remember childhood days of catching them, to have spit on me and my stained fingers happily holding a jar full of echoing jumps.

Is it a green bee? Wasp? Fly? Creepy!

Black and yellow - not a fuzzy bee, but a smooth with black cellophane wings. Big head, little butt.

Maybe there’s a tiny critter hidden here?

  1. All very fascinating,and I too enjoy taking pictures of them to see closer, longer. But I can never warm up to them as cute, etc. The unidentifiable ones are especially creepy to me...mutants perhaps! :-)

  8. Fantastic photos. Definitely publication worthy. Half the time I try to take photos of bugs they end up crawling on my lens or me. Not fun.
