Re: Skimmia Flower bud
Nicely done! I know how you feel. I've been scrounging in the basement for house spiders, and winter has barely started!

Re: deformed spider?

Re: Our smallest dragonfly
Very nice "contextual" image! Does "recently emerged" account for the slightly crinkled appearance of the wings - as in, not yet fully "inflated"? Or do mature adult wings appear that way too? Makes a nice church window effect, whatever it is. Lovely. Even when far enough along that they can fly, r...

Very cool. I remember maybe a year ago we had a discussion about Easter eggs found on microchips.

Those are amazing. I do remember seeing the Christmas tree one, but the others are certainly new to me.
