Great shot of the cone-flower (echinacea) money shot!

Dragonfly with Sigma EX 105/2.8 - what are those egg-like shapes in its abdomen?








great work, Ed - as far as the bumps you mentioned, those are probably parasitic mites....

Thanks Dave.

The insect world is just dreadful... seen many shots of insects with parasites, does not look fun.

Thank you - I've always seen nice close up dragonfly shots and wanted a few for my self - turns out these insects are very photography-friendly and very cooperative as models.

Moon Jelly photographed through the glass of its tank at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

QuoteQuote:
Moon jelly, (genus Aurelia), genus of marine jellyfish of the order Semaeostomeae (class Scyphozoa, phylum Cnidaria) characterized by their pale translucent bodies and commonly found in coastal waters, particularly those of North America and Europe. The adult may grow as large as 40 cm (16 inches) in diameter. Its medusoid body is bell-shaped, and from the dishlike underside hangs a short tube (manubrium) at the tip of which is the mouth. The edges of the tube form four frilly projections called mouth, or oral, arms. Four crescent- to circular-shaped gonads are visible near the centre of the gelatinous dish and are coloured pink through magenta to blue. The rim of the undersurface bears numerous short tentacles. Like other scyphozoan jellyfishes, the moon jelly goes through an inconspicuous attached polyp stage before taking on its adult free-swimming form.
