I was flipping rocks today and came across more of the bright red springtails. I think they were under 90% of my landscape rocks today. I took these at higher magnification, and to my surprise, I seemed to get great depth of field. These guys are so tiny, but I took these at over 5x. There were a couple of the even tinier translucent white entomobryiods but I didn't really capture them. They actua

This tiny skipper has been on the wall by my door for hours. So I decided to take a photo.

I'll start off with some ants today. I'm not sure, but guessing ghost ants. They seem different than the ghost ants I normally see around here. As a super cool bonus though, there was a leucistic girl running around with them. I've not come across this in ants before. Is this common?

Lesser Grass Blue Zizina otis
Slightly zoomed in monochrome version with contrast adjusted. Still not happy with it. My focal plane is off slightly, but the color is bad and the black and white is all wrong from the bounced flash.

Here is another individual. Or maybe two??? Its hard to keep track. They were so cute I just had to keep taking photos.
I feel like I look at a lot of ants, but never studied them. I looked at tens of thousands of wasps though and I don't ever recall seeing leucism in them before. It seemed more white to the naked eye. I don't know if it was the flash or ju…
A very pleasant find during my afternoon of flipping rocks. They may be Bilobella but the black eyes make me think otherwise. If you know what they are, please tell me.

Somehow this didn't show as a reply... I fail at internetting...
Happy Blorbday!
I nearly gave you a fly, but I guess I do occasionally take non bug pics.

About
I am naturalist and macro photography enthusiast. I want to share how I see the tiny things in this world that make life livable. I have a MS in biology which focused on the ecology of plants, their insect herbivores, and the parasitoids that preyed on them.
I may occasionally toot about #chronicPain or #dyslexia but generally only to commiserate with others. You needn't notify my about misspellings as I just don't care anymore...
