The Micro World of Nature

This little bug was just a tiny spot on a geranium leaf. Measuring under 1/4 inches at most, I thought at first that he was a dot of mud that had been splashed from watering the potted plant. Upon closer inspection, I soon discovered that he was actually a visitor probably nibbling on the leaf.

In Summertime, scenes like this are all around us. However, we usually don't notice them.

Terrific macro image Liz. Sharp and good detail well captured. Good info too and you are right, many of us would simply miss these tiny sp[ecimen.

I like the POV angle and how you included its fuzzy leafy environment. V
