I particularly enjoy examining the intricate structures of insects and other invertebrates. In this post you can see butterfly feet and knees, horse fly eyes, a bumblebee eye with a mite perched on top, and also a mite clinging to a butterfly’s antenna like a madman. That find amused me. I suspect it was trying to escape its dead host when it ran out of energy itself, still clinging for life on the antenna. This world.
