Dermacentor variabilis "American Dog Tick" at left, Amblyomma americanum "Lone Star Tick" at right Both are male, I believe - neat to see them both on the same bit of grass 🤩 in situ, NE Oklahoma - fujifilm, Laowa 65mm, diffused flash

Treehoppers and ants exhibit a classic example of mutualism. As treehoppers feed on phloem sap, they excrete honeydew, which attracts ants. In return, the ants defend them from predators through aggressive behavior. The treehopper species is Membracis mimica #macrophotography #insects

Opiliones! Beautiful colors and patterns on this little creature. It was a very cooperative subject and gave me enough time to create a focus-stacked photo. #macrophotography

Stylized forms, shimmering textures, and vibrant greens, reds and purples. This Alydidae is truly a graceful and astonishing creature. I believe it belongs to the genus Stenocoris, though I prefer not to confirm it without certainty. Photographed in the Vaupés rainforest. #macrophotography

Hi BlueSky! Portrait of a grasshopper, approximately 9 cm in size. This creature patiently posed, giving me the necessary time to stack several images. I was so excited that I forgot to take a full-body shot... a big mistake if the goal is to identify the species. #macrophotography
