Tiny Little Life

In my experience, hoverflies will become used to your presence and not fly away while you are trying to photograph them.

This one spent a few minutes licking my big toe, for whatever reason.

I found this spider in a small patch of flowers.

This one-eyed sphinx moth (smerinthus cerisyi) wasn’t able to find any nectar in my friends’ kitchen.

I’m not sure why they call it one-eyed.

This stonefly was about 3 inches long, and the design of the wings reminded me of an intricate stained glass window.

You shouldn’t let this ant help you with your porch.

I borrowed a friend’s macro lens to shoot these leafhoppers in Vermont. They are half the size of a grain of rice.

The circle of leafhopper life… eaten by a tiny spider.

This one reminds me of a box turtle.

This jumping spider was sucking the last of the juice out of a greenbottle fly when I found it.
