Chironomids for Saturday Critters

 

Found this on wiki 

Chironomids as a group are very diverse in their life histories and exhibit a variety of behaviours during their development. Due to their species ambiguity and this diversity of behaviours, there is much controversy in research on their feeding habits, particularly as adults.

Many reference sources in the past century or so have repeated the assertion that the Chironomidae do not feed as adults, but an increasing body of evidence contradicts this view. Adults of many species do, in fact, feed. The natural foods reported include fresh fly droppings, nectar, pollen, honeydew, and various sugar-rich materials.

GAS - gear acquisition syndrome is something Joel and I have suffered for many decades. We are now debating whether we should acquire a digital medium format system again. I guess that is how we socialise by talking about what we gonna spend money next on. 

Australian Open live broadcast is way better this year. After work, I just lie on couch watching it on TV. So not going out much

It is that day of week for Mural Monday

The sheer joy of getting a macro shot in focus. I am using an old sigma macro lens from 30 years ago. There is no digital coating on the lens. So flare sensitivity is clear. I don't like flashes in macro so this was taken at high ISO. A lot of noise. Well, whatever. It was a nice walk in the wet forest.

A little bit like a commercial for baby lotion or soft pillow?
