Hi Gang Back story... In May, I was camping at the Hoh Rain Forest on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State and I decided to bring back a small sample of some lichen growing on the side of a tree. Lucky for me, I brought specimen containers and placed the green lichen into one. When I returned t...

Yep. My friend was cutting a very hard stainless and destroyed his bits!

Hi Gang

A broken end mill and one that had the material melt onto the cutting area

Hi Gang

Still trying to get an ID for this beetle.
I need to hurry before it flies away!!!

Hi Gang


A few shots of this tiny beetle.

I bet it loves potatoes just as much as I do!

Hi Gang Found this guy on my driveway and it was "freshly" deceased. I was able to open his wings and keep them in position until it hardened. Just a few different views. Mike 2021-06-14-19.24.37-ZS-retouched_WEB.jpg 2021-06-14-20.31.30-ZS-retouched_WEB.jpg 2021-06-14-21.02.43-ZS-retouched_WEB.jpg

This is looking inside where the seeds are attached and this example is from last year's bloom, so the leaf structure is long deceased...

Mark and all Let me tell you its gets stranger... I had recently washed out a large cooler to prepare for an upcoming trip. I had the cooler resting against the side of my garage to let it dry, and I had it there for several days. I placed the cooler in the garage and closed the lid. All in all it s...

Thanks!

The second shot came out strange, but it was with my Mitutoyo 5x.

Now to keep them from spreading in my studio!

Hi Gang

Found a cluster of weeds growing in my back wooded area. I do not know what kind, but the seeds are spread through breezy conditions like dandelions.

Thought I would take a few shots.

Hi Gang I found the chrysalis in my back yard and decided to see what it would become, which is a Monarch Butterfly.
