These images were selected for various posts in September and October, but fell short somewhere along the way. Some posts changed course, mid-process, and the photos were no longer relevant. Sometimes the photos were redundant or too tangential, sometimes they simply didn’t “fit”.
Whatever their failings, they’ve been collecting in a “Miscellaneous Insects” folder on my desktop. Today seemed like a good day to post them, before I sentence them to the External Hard Drive Archive…

So glad you shared, Rae. I love these studies of these small but not insignificant creatures! Fascinating.
You must be so alert to make these discoveries. Amazing!
