Nice images, Kervin.
Thanks! Writing the story was just as fun as taking the picture.
Or, I saw some mushrooms in a flower pot this morning, scooped them out onto the table and took some pictures.
Sometimes, I see something that I think will make a pleasing image.
Walking through the forest after a storm, the humidity slowed out progress to almost a crawl. The moisture muffled the sound of our footsteps so we hoped our nearly silent approach would increase the chance of seeing something magical in the woods. A shaft of light illuminated two tiny mushrooms that were quietly preparing to spread spores on the loamy soil. As I framed the shot, I thought about the giant living organism in the soil that was sending up tiny flowers for us to behold just at this moment. Tomorrow, these dark flowers will be gone, but I can look back at this image and remember the magic.

It looks familiar.
It is a true bug nymph.
I would venture to suggest a Predatory Stink Bug.

Thanks for the identification!
This guy was moving very fast!
This was on the underside of a green bean leaf.
Oh my! That's a nice one.
These were shot with a Nikon D80 converted to 590 nm infrared. 105mm macro lens and a off camera flash.

Heeey, welcome back! Good stuff here. The weird Hemipteran looks to be one of the seed bugs.
Thanks for the ID. I had not seen one like this before.

You are young enough to lay down and get up again, those were the days. Nice to see you posting again.
Since I know it will be a while to get back up, I try to make sure it's a worthwhile shot. :)

Or in this case, out of the saddle and on the ground!
