Mouse - not my photo. Dick Fast, retired doc, built his own rig to stack micro photos for great depth of field.

If I never entomologize
It should come as no surprise
But by looking in that wasp's two eyes,
That one's a Vespula invadus, guys
And for my lack I can't apologize.

It seems to be a bumper crop this spring of Mutillids, aka, Velvet 'Ants', aka, Cow Killers.
Maybe I'll take my macro lens out today and find one.

Another amazing shot from Dick Fast. Insect was trapped in a bit of tree fluff. Critter was only about 3mm long.

Any entomologists out there? Maybe a Hemipteran? Maybe Miridae?

Thanks, Willoughby - you're probably right, although I don't really see the cornicles.

I've been trying to work with a 1954 edition of Borror and Delong. Guess I'd better get a more recent book

Here's how I'm seeing it. I initially was looking on my phone, and I think my mind filled in the blanks, but I still think this is valid. The right one is clearly visible, and the left is obscured behind its left hind femur.



I'm currently at war with these suckers over claim to my pepper plants.

Cool shot, MH!
I found a really cool spider way up on the Matterhorn. It was freezing but he didn't
seem to mind.
I gotta try and transfer the pics to my phone.

Yes, and was it an alpine white spider? (I don't know the scientific name.)

You'll have to wait on the Matterhorn spider but here's Mouse's White Spider.
It's in pretty good knick for August.
