p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Spiders and Flies

I have resorted to the small spiders and flies as that is all I can find now.

.

Where oh where has everything gone.

There are a few theories as to why flies blow bubbles - digestion, cooling and aggression. After watching these flies , I'm voting for digestion. They would go head first deep into the flower , eat the pollen, come up and start blowing tiny bubbles.

Even though the subject matter is anything but exotic , I do hope you enjoy or at least find something of interest .
As always your nits, crits and suggestions are most appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to look

Very cool images, Birdie! I love the image of the fly that was about ready to swallow that water drop

. Actually, both fly images are exquisite.

Thanks so much Bobby. No stacking on these, too much movement with the breeze and the size of the bubble changing
