They began to emerge gradually; they jumped, they crawled and they flied from grasses to leaves.
I did not drop down into a rabbit hole like
The first one that came into sight was a little spirit that was a stranger and weird to me.
This fly looked so naked without the usual clothing printed with dark grey stripes.
This little one must be one of the many species of grasshopper that exist in this undergrowth.
They seemed to be living peacefully around these little purple flowers.

ReplyDeleteI think "fruit fly" maybe the correct id.
I am in awe of these shots. The colors on the first one with the brilliant macros just stun me. Fantastic!
