A closeup of Cladonia lichens and moss.
But look closely, there are two tiny eggs on the lichen's apothecia to find!

For I'd like to share one of my favorite insects, a green .

It took me *8 years* to get this shot. Each time I saw one, my camera was either not on me, or... even worse!... I had the lens out, and I was soo excited to see a lacewing that I botched *every single shot*.

Finally, one early morning in late July I saw one resting on a grass seedhead. Breathing deeply, I hand-held steadily for once. How I'm not noticed creeping up w/ 6.5 pounds of gear, I'll never know!

Got a decent photo of a little lacewing yesterday. It my bug book only has a few pages on lacewings and they mostly cover green and brown ones.

Looking up close at moss is one of my favorite things to do

Finished my illustration of illecebrosa taking off from someones finger. Eyespots are known for this species and would have acted a a predator deterrent. This species also had a proboscis for feeding on nectar.

Happy .
More this week; this is illecebrosa, about to take off from someone's hand.
If you look closely, you can see that the front pair of legs are raised up; this is something with all (or most) lacewings do before taking off. Smaller species will spring into the air using their back legs, but larger ones will flap and gently lift off.
This is a pen sketch which I'll be colouring digitally.

children are tiny monsters. They scramble quickly over surfaces in search of small prey into which they will sink their sickle-shaped fangs. When they land on people they attempt to eat you too. For all their fearlessness these insects have no defense. When they bite they are instantly smooched by the gentle pressure of a finger. I have many reliable queries that these bites are not in self-defense but pure offense.

This is the most metal insect I've seen this year. A larvae (maybe a lacewing or related) of some sort wearing a bunch of its victims (aphids) as a hat. In the North Woods of Central Park in early July.
