Some of our smaller creatures

I have become very interested in photographing our small creatures. Like all "bugs" I had not really noticed them before and am amazed at the rich variety of types and colors.

A young wasp.
This is a very common grasshopper (family Acrididae), but he was posing so nicely for me, I had to take his picture.

This is the caterpillar of a moth, but have yet to find out what the moth looks like. Unfortunately, most of the species are not named and no one as taken the trouble to try and see what hatches out from them. I have started a project like this at home, but it is a loooonnnnngggg process. LOL!!

A Citrus Butterfly - they lay their eggs on citrus trees, hence the name.

An un-named moth, but quite a furry fellow.

I have never seen a furry beetle but found this one on one of my walks. He is so cute, you almost want to caddle it.
