Dicyrtomina saundersi globular springtail, the most common collembola species I find in the garden. Also the prettiest. #macro #photography #bug #nature

I absolutely adore Autumn and mainly because there’s beautiful toadstools around like these Fly Agaric beauties. Some of nature’s finest. #photography #FungiFriends

The weather has been rubbish all year so far, I haven’t been able to get out walking at any point. Turning into a real couch potato as a result. Frustrating for both of us.

A gorgeous little slime mould, looks like a balloon. Bottom right, I think is a springtail spermatophore left by a male globby! #nature #macro #photography #fungifriends

A wonderful species, in this area. I spot their tunnel shaped webs all over the place. This one was just feet from the Wasp Spider shot I posted recently. This is a handsome Agalena labyrinthica. #nature #spider #macro #photography
