p.1 #1 · Small Life on the Fleabane Daisy

Amazing the varied little ones that feed on the pollen of this beautiful little wild daisy. It grows in the vacant lot across the street from me. Yesterday morning , I heard the horrid sound of a lawn mower in the lot !! I ran over and asked the owner, to please not cut down the daisies . I am sure he thinks I am nuts, but he did not cut them down

That lot is my own macro Serengeti !

As always your nits, crits and suggestions are most appreciated. If anyone can help me ID the last one, would greatly appreciate.

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy.

Damsel fly is my favourite, but they're all fantastic captures. You're making that R4 sing.

Superb as always, Birdie!

So, do the neighbors cross to the other side of the street when they see the "crazy lady" coming?

Great set of images! You always manage to get excellent images of bugs and flowers. Amazing skill.
Love the story about the guy with the lawnmower. You should show him your images. I am sure he will understand why he should not cut those plants.
YGMV, again.

Very impressive set, Birdie! I enjoy the entire set thoroughly; it must be the camera, huh

? Just kidding, of course.
