I have the best son, always keeping his eyes open for me. He brought me this little branch full of tiny beetles(?). I have no clue what they are but I really liked them!
One of the berries on the branch had some empty egg cases on it.
I had to take many photos because they did not cooperate and pose for me. No, they were constantly moving this way and that.
Does anyone know what kind of little bug these are? With so many in one place I'm assuming they are babies. Did they hatch from those eggs?
Would you have guessed they were this little? Amazing little guys!
No idea what kind of bugs that could be ??!!
ReplyDeleteThey look cute and colorful !
Can imagine that you had to take many photos of them , they look like they can move real quick :)
you should have just given a good yell. "stand still" they certainly look like they can speak english.
ReplyDeleteyou've got one amazing macro lens there! what cute little guys, but probably not the best things to have in your garden!
ReplyDeleteHe is a very colorful fella...for a bug he is pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteWow....they are small....I really like that you included a photo of the object with a ruler! I have never seen beetles like that, maybe I never looked close enough. I take it those little white objects were their eggs?
ReplyDeleteLisa ~ I'm not sure what kind of bugs these little critters are, but they're kinda cute. Excellent marco of the empty eggs.
