Not much of interest today except these...a juvenile cockroach and its adult counterpart...

Baby:

Adult:

Some kind of ladybird beetle:

And this is why Millipedes are cool, but you dont mess with Centipedes :shrug: (My needlepoint tweezers are in the lower left for scale...)

Now have my Olympus 1030SW. The deeply inset lens makes microscope photography a bit harder

Interesting things (mix of cameraphone and 1030sw photos):

2 flower spiders

More carabid beetles - The colours are just wicked for something commonly found in the uk!

A cool ant or wasp (Hymenoptera)

Dragonfly out at Arne (Taken on cameraphone, the fella didnt move even though I had to get pretty close to take the pic)

And another Unknown critter in the last sample of the current batch. At first glance you think "Woodlouse" till you turn it over, and find it only has 3 pairs of legs.

It keys out as a beetle larvae, and it could well be one, but Im not 100%...

Some photos of what I see when Im not stuck in the lab...

A white deer! Shame it wasnt winter as they are more white then...

Silver studded blues (I think) which are pretty rare in the UK, Arne is a stronghold for em:

And lots and lots of Sundews. Before anyone asks, no, I didnt feed the butterfly in the above pic to the sundew in the pic below:

More nice photies.

BTW Last time I was in Tescos they had some 5megapixel digital cameras for about £35, difference with these being they were supplied with an underwater case - allegedly capable of 15 metres depth. Might be of interest to you.
