A Bee and a Worm

This monster bee (is it a bee?) dived right on to the worm, killed it within ten seconds, and flew away with the bait between her jaws. Did not know that bees also eat worms. It is slightly longer than one centimeters long.

Not Only Bees are the Worshipper of Flowers!

The breez made it almost impossible to have good focus. Still I can seet this guy eating the pollen happily, while having a bad table manner, with food over her mouth.

The Spider

Somehow it looks like squid to me. Maybe we are really all connected, and all came from the sea. The lenght is about 5 millimeter

The Fly

They are not really human being's favorte existance, but ignoring the context (the environment that it enjoys most), it is not really a horrible looking guy, maybe just similar to crows (speaking of witch, they have similar colors) that are disliked by Chinese and considered something of bad luck.

Landing

This guy must have climbed up the grass nearby and finnaly is able to land on this piece of dream land.

A Conqueror

Looks like a warrior and standing triumphantly over its captive.

How are you doing?

Asked the ant to the ladybird....."Well, not bad. But can't that guy focus on me a bit more seriously?" Replied the ladybird.

Ladybird, the orange version

At least I should have got this fellow's name right. Orange (or yellowish) version is not much I have seen before.

Relative of Ladybird?

This little fellow is less than 5mm long in size.
Not that I cared much about its name. But what is its name?
The length is about 2mm.

Lunch,...., of a bee

Or is it a bee after all?

Ready...Attack!

This tiny spider responded to the approach of my camera, which has macro lens and can get very close to the subject.

Even flies have the right to fly!

Not welcomed by human being, but that's what human being think. Under such a nice sunny day, there are plenty of good life to enjoy. Everybody has the same right to have a share of the nature.

Dandelion and the Bee

While being small in size, dandelion is strikingly beautiful when observed at close range. I belive that this bee agrees with me too.

Guest

Is there anything yummy?

The flower bud of paeoniae radix. Like its naming: zetsumyo (Japnase; superb).
絶妙、芍薬。

Pretending

This ladybird landed on my camera. In order to take a photo of it, I had to put it down on the bench. In pite of my gentle movement, it still took it as an attack and fell dead right at where I dropped it. The little pond of liquit must have be from this lady.
When I tried to have the second shot, it burst into a quick move and flew away.

Harvest Time!

This bee must very happy, to have found this great treasure of pollens and nectar, in such a sunny and tranquil day.

Enjoying the sun,...,and the leaf

Don't know the name of this little creature, but it really looks like having a great time out there. Maybe it's aprreciating the beautiful textures of the leave? Well, I do.

蜜蜂に負けない蟻 - Ant as Good As Bees

It is the first time for me to see ant working on flowers. It seems to be really appreciating the pollen.
Wait a minute, upon some quick research, US forest Service says that, "Ants are more likely to take nectar without effectively cross-pollinating flowers." But, "there is a rare category of flowers that have become adapted to ant-pollination.", that is Ang Flowers.
mecos has a lot of amazing photos of insects, including ants.

Coccinellidae on Stachyurus praecox - ハチジョウキブシ上にあるテントウムシ

It must be as serious a day as for any of us,
although relatively speaking, much longer than ours.
Either way, it must also be as beautiful a day as it is to us,
with plentiful warm lights, and pleasant flowers around.

Spider on Violet

One of my recent works with the new macro lens.
The spider is about 5mm when the legs are spreaded.
The legs look like those of a crab!
