This afternoon I took a few shots around the garden consisting of a tropical leaf, and unknown very small insect taken at 1:1 and also a snail carrying some kind of parasite at 1:1 and a rose stem.

I would appreciate if anyone can identify the wee insect.

    Good series Bob.
    Rather like #1 - nice textures :)

    Think the bug is a rove beetle. Never seen anything quite like the green blob on the slug.

    Nice work Bob, sorry I've been missing for a few days.
    Renovations are almost complete now, and I have my internet connection back for now, I will lose it for one day only in a couple of weeks time.

    I really like the first shot too, well done clap.gif
    That slug is one ugly looking dude I must say, I have no clue what the little guy on the back is, could it be offspring by any chance?

    Good series Bob thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks ever so much Brian for identifying the wee bug, I will be able to tag it now on my website.
    Welcome back Skip your absence really has been noticed and it is one real privilege and a pleasure to have you back. Oh yeah, I am still struggling with my MPE but enjoying every minute of it. Brian is always there in the background to help me out.
    Regards to you both
    Bob
