Deep in the forest

Mark Edell

My wife and I took our first backcountry camping trip this year. We hiked 12 miles up the Grey Wolf river in Washington State, carrying 40 lbs of camping gear each, Plus my camera equipment. It’s sad when you decide that you are only going to carry the bare essentials for taking pictures and you can only get it down to 9lbs. But I digress… anyway, we were under a heavy canopy and my long lenses were useless so I attached my Canon 200mm 2.8 to a set of extension tubes and started shooting.
Any help identifying the species of either bugs or flowers would be greatly appreciated! I know I got a moth and some small mushrooms.
:rofl


#1 (some sort of small flower)




#2 tiny flower with very tiny critters on it :dunno



#3 Moth



#4 Tiny flower with, I don't know what on it



#5 More of the same



#6 Some kind of fly



#7 Tiny mushrooms




As always, feel free to critique.

Thanks for looking

Hi Mark, I think your moth is actually a butterfly maybe a Great Southern White??

Gosh, hard to tell sometimes what these things are, I try to match them up with images in my Bug Book but sometimes they just look a little different.

You got a great variety to show us with this lot.
Nice use of the Ext. Tubes, they are really are handy to have.

Hope someone else is better at identifying than I am.

Thanks for sharing ...... Skippy
