I never got around to posting the photos I took for International Rock Flipping Day, so the set is here.









I'm not sure, but I think that the big bug is eating the little one.


How's that for timing?






Before the floods this summer, this was a road. Three months after the flooding, it's still not repaired.

Ooh. That second one is beautiful. Is it a dragonfly?

[guppiecat]

Yes, it is. I don't know what kind though.

I suspect it is a damsel fly. Smaller.

[pameladean]

It is a damselfly, of the class called bluets. They are hard to tell apart.

When I was in fourth grade, I had found an ant colony under a pile of bricks in my yard. You could see all the tunels and eggs, etc..
I had a birthday party and thought I'd share my riches. The kids threw junk on the tunnels and generally wrecked the whole thing. This is a big part of my current state of anti-social.

In short, I like bugs. Thanks for posting the cool pics.

The big bug eating the little bug is a ladybug nymph. They eat more bugs and aphids than adult ladybugs. They also pinch if you pick them up.

Awesome bugs!
