Due to global warming- we still have bugs etc here!

Some macros shot today including the newly crowned Heavyweight bubble blowing fly.

Bubble blowing world champion (drop measured in at 2mm dia and sucessfully sucked back in)



Water drop on bottlebrush flower



Hoverfly closeup



Hibernating ladybird (you Aussies should recognise the plant)



lastly some stereograms- these are done in both parallel and crosseye viewing technique- just view the middle one and one of the others at a time.

Thanks John,
As I guess you realise that comment was a bit tongue in cheek. But I am glad there are still a few bugs around- means less of a close season on bug hunting.
