Weevil

This is a weevil that I found on a wildflower blossom on yesterday's walkabout along the river in the thick weeded fields. I brought it home to be a preserved specimen and I staged it for a focus stacking session. Although they are considered to be a pest, I find them to be quite interesting and uniquely different in their own way.

Nice.

No, that would have been the truth.

Sorry it disturbs you.

I posted a picture of a random page from the book. You claim to know something that's not true. And include an unknown number of unnamed others in your lie.

You seem to be saying that I only bought it to post it and had no intention of reading it. And that of course is a strawman argument which you are no doubt familiar with.

That's what is known as a lie. And the we? Turd in your pocket?

What is your point, if anything?

Basically saying that you're accusing him of doing things that you do.

Is that okay or would you like an example?

Perhaps you can mount a cogent and fact based rebuttal?

Truth and fact only please.

"Truth and Fact".
Learning new words are "we"?

Tiny Moth

This is a tiny moth that was on the side of the house under the porch light as I let the dogs out to do their final business before bedtime. I have no idea of what species it is and it is about the size of a pinky fingernail. I brought it in and staged it for a focus stacking session.

I'm always fascinated by a moths eyes for they have a marbling effect to them. I also enjoy seeing their scales which are very feather like.

Click Beetle

I found this Click Beetle on the floor while looking at a possible home for my daughter and I put it in my pocket and brought it home where I staged it for a focus stacking session.

It was quite dirty and I washed it in our ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with distilled water and a few drops of Dawn Liquid Dish Soap and it came out quite clean and none the worse for wear.

Well done.

Catch of the Day 7-10-20

sippyjug104 wrote:

Went out to my favorite boggy area this morning with camera in hand. Most of the water has gone down and the burst of wildflowers were few compared to times past however there are hopes that they will return and attract more critters. I sprayed and doused so I came home tick and chigger free which is the best part of the outing.

Nicely done.

Buckeye Butterfly on Yellow Flower

This is a Buckeye Butterfly that I came across on the field of these yellow blossoms. The Buckeyes are quite common in our area and I find them to be quite beautiful so I always enjoy seeing one and of course I can not resist when there is a camera in my hand.
