That's amazing, Stoney! You wouldn't think the web would support that weight. |

Here is a (dirty) caterpillar from this past week end.
(probably a Pine Processionary Caterpillar) |

Well it's a nice photo, and the 'dirt' gives it a lot of character, but technically speaking caterpillars are still insects
![]() I'm hoping this thread will inspire people to look at the crustacea, mollusca (as Stoney did), the myriapoda and for extra bonus points, the onycophorans. All the creepy-crawlies that aren't insects or spiders. ![]() |

horrid picture but the right equipment was not at hand, it is about 2mm long but it didnt get trashed because these things tend to give me the shivers. It was found on my 2yo sons head after playing in the woods. It took a little while to pry out but we didnt loose any of it.
![]() chthoniid, sorry no onycophorans :). But just for you this is maybe not as pretty but at leaset wormish. ![]() tim |

Thanks Tim- you've done well with the tick photo given the circumstances. Hope your son was all right.
Nematodes and rotifers are probably going to be beyond the scope of most of us ![]() |

Ok, I have some ticks, too:
![]() A little closer (note that there is another tick on the backside) ![]() And another one, taking a bath in a dew drop ![]() ![]() And here are some diplopoda, Polyxenus lagurus to be exact, (taken with a Panasonic FZ3, but I hope it's ok to show them here): ![]() ![]() These are about 2 mm in size. I find them fascinating. ![]() |

Well, I'm happy to see you posting macro photos again. I always look forward to your shots. You've developed a very good technique for macro shots. |

Nice shots there Stoney- the diplopods look like they have a lot of character.
Just hoping you can help me out with the tick- I can't find the second mite on the backside. Here's my closeup ![]() Where is the second mite hiding? |

![]() @chthoniid: It's on the backside of the leaf. You can see some of the legs. Maybe it's even clearer when you look at the first photo. |

That's a very nice compostion Pavel. I like the simplicity of the backround. The shadowing under the body works well, and there's still a nice degree of detail on the limbs.
