We've had some nice low tides along Puget Sound. July 5th was about a minus 3.9. Some creatures:
1) Mottled Star (Evasterias troschelii)
2) Ochre Sea Star (Pisaster ochraceus) and Painted Anemone (Urticina grebelnyi)
3) Orange Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria miniata)
4) Northern Kelp Crab (Pugettia producta)

A young Silver Garden Spider (Argiope argentata) most likely. When I shot this, the entire stabilimentum (the decorative part of the web) was smaller than a dime, about 12mm by 9mm. The spider's body is 3mm long, about the size of Roosevelt's nose on a dime. The body of an adult female would be around 12mm with long legs. #spider #macro #macrophotgraphy #arachnid #wildlifephotgraphy

Tinus peregrinus is a species of Nursery Web Spider that I find frequently at two local parks with a lot of water in South Texas. I was excited to get this angle capturing the water tension. #spider #macro #macrophotgraphy #wildlifephotogaphy

This little beauty is an Oribatid (Cepheus) mite nymph. Each ring of ornate scales on the mite's back are a previously moulted exoskeleton!
I've been trying to get a good photo of these for so long, and it turns out all I had to do was go looking around the research station grounds where I work.

A little planthopper nymph, going about his business, trailing a fluff of silk behind him like a rocket's exhaust and keeping a wary lookout with his chameleon eye.

Ihr findet doch auch, dass dieser Teil von einer Mandarinenschale aussieht wie ein kleines schneebedecktes Bäumchen, oder? 🤔
Das musste ich mal fotografisch festhalten 📷

Why should the bum of a fly be so lovely? Okay, that was rhetorical, before you start answering.

While it's still #caturday, here is the lovely eye of Bob Prime (who, in life, we simply called Bob). She was a special girl, and she let me take close up pictures when all she wanted was to snooze in some sunlight. 😉 #macro #macrophotgraphy #shadows
