30 DAYS WILD : DAY 20 - THREE SMALL THINGS

Fly with big brown eyes. Green


This morning I went for a walk and stopped at a stone bridge over a stream and there I saw three small things.


A fly with big brown eyes


Seed growing in moss on parapet of stone bridge



A seed growing in the moss on the parapet


Green, stripey insect.


A stripey something on a leaf with galls. It was only a few millimetres long and I have no idea what it is. Have you?

Greenbottle fly and I think a Green Mirid Bug Nymph but I wouldn't put money on it.

Thanks Adrian. One sees greenbottles around but I'd not seen this kind of nymph before.

Your photos are stunning! Especially the seed, and the fly. I never thought of flies as beautiful, but this one sure is.

Lovely photos of the kind of details most of us pass by.

I am no help with IDs, but I admire your macro photography skills so much.

Hello Granny Sue. I find flies are wonderful to see when you photograph and enlarge them. They are so complex and often with wonderful colours. (Glad you like the photos. Thank you.)

Hello John. I really enjoy being somewhere where there seems to be nothing to see - and finding what really is there!

Hello Sallie. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the photos. I use the camera as a kind of microscope. I take the photos and enlarge them when I get home so I can see what my naked eye would not have allowed me.
