I have no idea what this bug is...

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.

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

are there any spiders living there? because i se a spiderweb

Well actually, it's the same bush that my tiny little spider friend was on... that's his web...

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.

we just posting random google pics now?

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...

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

...but I like rocks. Rocks r kool.

all that yipayap about what to do with your camera, i thought you would have some of your own, since your camera is up again. my bad, sorry.

Flew right over your head, eh?

don't you have some plants to kill? hahhahahhahahaha

You guys are so funny!!!

you have powdery mildew. you should deal with that.

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.

those are some nice ass buds bro...
Like always..

Agreed...

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.

and i'm bad for this? whud evfer.

Aww fdd, you know that we all love you. You're just so much fun to stir... you bite.

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'...

or do we what rocks? (googled)

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 .

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!

(I am LOUSY at photography, a shameful thing when one knows that my own father was actually able to study directly under Ansel Adams )

Ansel Adams is one of my favorites!!!
