There were somedays over the Bank Holidays when it was so hot that, rather than plod all over the landscape in search of wildlife, I decided to just sit in the grass under the shade of a tree and explore the wildlife within immediate reach of a macro lens. ....... like this infant froghopper larva producing a bubblebath of plant sap....
.... and this spider suspender in an almost invisible web....
.... and these two minute flies (Sepsis spp.?) with eyes like garnets.

Super pic of the froghopper larva. Linda
Lovely macro photos. I was looking for cuckoo spit and froghopper larvae on Sunday when leading a 'Minibeast walk', but it's still a bit early for it up here.
Super pictures again Phil, thanks for letting us see them.
Hi Adrian, I'm well into low-energy-expenditure photography, preferably with a glass of cold beer within easy reach...
Thanks Linda, I'm rather fond of these little insects, especially when the adults ping around the garden in summer
Hi Swanscote, it's the first I've seen. I'm strongly tempted to visit some of those wonderful places on your blog...
