Local Flavor: More Macro Bugs at the River
This tiny spider on the blade of grass is just too cute... for a spider.
I followed this guy as it was flying-about and then it made a mistake and got itself caught by the current on landing. I got down on my hands and knees and followed it as the river swept it away. Amazingly, my first snap caught this.
The super-tiny fly here was washing itself in the undergrowth. It's funny how epic small spaces seem when you get up and close to tiny life.
I won't argue with beetles, either.
Or snails, I guess.
Yes, it was "golden hour" down there.

There is a story, possibly apocryphal, of the distinguished British biologist, J.B.S. Haldane, who found himself in the company of a group of theologians. On being asked what one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation, Haldane is said to have answered, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.”
Andy: if it ain't plaid, it's a t-shirt or a jacket.
MM: hell, yes. I'm going to say it right now: I'm no fan of the Be-AT-les. Sorry everyone. Gimme SOME GIRLS played end to end on repeat for any summer car trip.
