Weird caterpillar I noticed this morning, Tamron 52BB and cropped. I presume it is a caterpillar!

Simili macro photo with a long focal lens... laying flat down on the ground at the insect level, and close to the minimum focal distance..

Well done! I know from experience how difficult it is to get close to a tiger beetle to obtain good detail in a macro image. They are very alert, very active, and very quick to scurry or fly away if they detect movement.

Something worth eating found on the leaf.

X-posted image, a multi-image stack of a hornet found dead out on the deck below a hornet nest. Probably a male killed in battle with rival males - Cain & Abel to the max.
