Macro of an ambush bug perched on a rounded cluster of small white Mexican clover flowers. The insect is positioned at the top right, facing toward its right, showcasing a heavily textured, jagged black and yellow exoskeleton with prominent ridges on its thorax. Its pale yellow legs grip the tiny blossoms. Extending out to its left, a vibrant green leaf holds an organized, geometric raft of small, oblong, cream-colored eggs arranged in neat rows. The entire scene is set against a smooth, warm bokeh background of sunlit yellow-green tones.

Photo of a spotted orbweaver (neoscona crucifera) suspended by its silk (not visible) from an out-of-frame bush in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on November 22, 2023. Abdomen appears dark red and black with white hairs sticking out in random directions. Upper body is silhouetted, appearing black. Legs alternate red and black. Top two legs curve up and out. A small, blurry tuft of silk can be seen between the rearmost leg and abdomen.

Boat-tailed grackle belts
(Quiscalus major)

on a sandy lake shore

CREW pen flint strand lake trails
Bonita Springs, Florida 5-19-26

Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #crooners & Alt is #Eating: birds with food in beaks, or singing.

#birds #ECK #birding #threewordgenre #nature #singing #photography
Telephoto shot of a male boat-tailed grackle standing on a wet, sandy shoreline. Viewed from a three-quarter profile facing stage-right, he has his head tilted back with his long, slender black beak opened wide in a display call. His neck and chest plumage are dramatically puffed out, catching the light to reveal brilliant, iridescent dark blue and violet tones over his sleek black body. His long, fan-like black tail extends horizontally to his left. The background features the calm, rippling surface of pale water, while sparse green blades of grass sit in the foreground.

Macro photo of what I believe is a juvenile bold jumping spider (phidippus audax) resting on a pale blue metal patio chair. In the background we can see lines of the mesh metal seat and red-brown brickwork showing through. The spider's abdomen is a warm, chestnut brown bordered by a cream stripe near the head. Five stripy legs are visible. All feature cream, coffee, and almost-black brown sections. A medium brown pedipalp is on each side of the mouth. The pedipaps have long cream hairs. (More info about pedipalps is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedipalp.) A strip of cream-colored hairs runs in a gentle upside-down-smile curve under the medial eyes. Beneath the furry curve, two yellow-green chelicerae (mouth jaws). It has two glittering black/dark brown eyes in the center of its head and a smaller eye at the upper, outer edge of each central orb. Along the top of the spider's head is a line of sticky-outy dark hairs, with two thin, dense clumps near the eyes. - Photo taken in my Baltimore backyard on September 1, 2026.

Eastern amberwing dragonfly

#ColorADay #redWed #eck #macro #nature #red #threeWordGenre #art #macroPhotography #native #odonata #bugsky #insectThursday
Macro of a male dragonfly from a top-down dorsal perspective in symmetry. Rested flat with wings spread wide open horizontally, the insect showcases translucent, deeply saturated amber-red wings, illuminated by a bright backlight accentuating a complex network of dark venation. Its slender, segmented abdomen displays alternating bands of dark brown and warm orange-red running straight down the center. Its large, round compound eyes at the top of its head glow with a warm reddish-orange hue. The subject focused against a smooth, dark green bokeh background.

Macro of a male and female blue butterfly perched closely together on a leaf of a wild sensitive plant (Chamaecrista nictitans) covered in tiny water droplets. The male on its stage-left has wings spread wide, and he has a shimmering, iridescent blue-lavender upper wing surface bordered by a soft brown edge. The female on its stage-right rests with wings upright, and she has a pale, patterned gray underside alongside a glimpse of her dark brown upper wing with blue scaling restricted to the base. The background a soft, dark green out-of-focus bokeh, isolating the fine textures.

This is a retro Halloween novelty song about one very determined ghost whose terrifying act goes hilariously wrong—and soon the whole town is joining in.

Mono image of still water with trees and their reflections, looking from a shady area into sun on the trees. The Saco River runs from Saco Lake in Crawford Notch in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, through Maine, to the Atlantic at Saco Bay. In the early 1800's, a 6 mile long canal was dug that shortened the river, bypassing many twists and turns. The canal made it easier for farmers to transport goods to markets. The Old Course Saco River is the 21.9 remnant waterway that twists through Fryeburg and Lovell. The upriver entrance is largely silted over, but there is still some water that runs through, providing recreation like fishing and boating.
