Well, I did some research... it turns out that this is the larvae of a lady bug. Cryptolaemus montrousieri, in fact... also known as the Mealeybug Destroyer. The adult is black with a redish orange head and they prey on mealeybugs and other types of scale, so I guess they really are cute after all. :mrgreen:

There's a bit of info on the bug here, if you're interested.

That TOTALLY reminds me of a nudibranch. Nudi = naked; branch = lung. Naked lungs.

There are so many amazing things under the sea that most people never really get to see. I can see why you guys love diving so much. I doubt I'll ever get to do any really serious diving... I'm an asthmatic and my lungs are shit. It feels like they're going to explode if I dive to the bottom of a swimming pool, so I doubt I'll ever get to go deep. :cry:

Seamaiden said:
Hardly random (first one has to know precisely what they're looking for), there was an entire train of thought that went along, and I'm pretty sure it was posted along with. They're all photos of creatures that are quite small, thusly requiring extreme close-up and meeting the qualification of "macro". Also, they're all pictures of things I know we've photographed, but I don't have access to Dave's computer or harddrive, so I went with the next best thing(s).

Viable argument... :hump:

Of course, I can go take some pix of gravel and put them up, but I think they'd be just as random. :lol:

:shock: fdd... that's a little personal, don't you think?

I won't tell you that I added some google pics too... but only for the sake of providing information and education. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. :hump:

Well personally, the two shots of the mealeybug destroyer are the only ones I've googled for this thread. I doubt too many of the other pics are not originals. You see, we're all photographers here, and there's one trait that photographers all around the world share... we all like to show off our stuff and have someone tell us that it's wonderful. It doesn't feel as good if you steal someone else's photo. Hence, I doubt the spirit of this thread will change too much. I think we'll be right in the end.

Very nice. I really like the first two... what is that stuff?? It's not just water, is it? It looks like some kind of hardened resin... and that last one looks like a dog turd. Now, I'm sorry fdd, I know that it's not. I'm just sayin'... :roll:

fdd2blk said:
or do we what rocks? (googled) :mrgreen::blsmoke::blsmoke:

I could show you some rocks... but that would mean going through all my discs... which would take ages... and considering how lazy I am...

Maybe I'll just go and have another bongsmilie.

Im sure most of these dont even qualify for macro pics (although most of em are larger than real life) but i was happy with most of them considering i was only using a phone cam.I really wanna get a good SLR cam when i can afford it.Hopefully u can all zoom so u know what i was tryin to go for,enjoy these for now hopefully!
