Bottle of Green and Lady in Red

IPClark

Here's a crop of the above. Primarily because I noticed the tiny little larvae thing just below the ladybird. The lady bird was about 5mm in length for size perspective.

Beautiful shots!

I love how people (including me) only after when we process the pfotos on comp find out that there is something else in the photo we didn't even see while the photo was taken. That is the reason why I love macro. It always surprises me with something

Thank you for your kind comments Jasenka. Much appreciated.

They both came out very well Ian.

Wonderful captures Ian - esp like the greenbottle fly.
Think your larva is probably an adult thrips.

Thank you Brian

An ADULT? Wow that's one small bug then

Beautyful!

Love the colors on the fly, definitely my favorite in the series, though the others were fine too.

Yup they are tiny things and often a case of "where's Willy" - you find them accidently included in a picture- esp those involving flowers.
see #1 in this thread- http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=202205 there's a thrips on the petal in the middle

Wow, and I'd replied to that thread too. So consumed with the honey bee that I didn't see the little guy hiding there
