End of October Macro Bugs

These will probably be the last outdoor insect macros of 2016.  As since these were taken towards the end of October, the colder weather has seen a decline in insect activity.

These were taken in the woodland and on a bridge at Blashford Lakes.

Here is what I found on that outing.

First up something I have seen before – a barkfly – taken at around 2 and 4x magnification on my Canon MPE-65mm lens.

Now a couple of things I don’t know – the first creature, may well be some small aphid.

This one I definitely don’t have a clue on.

As well as those two unknowns – I found a new species of globular springtail to me – I think Allacma fusca.

Also about on the post was a froghopper.

And finally on a bit of old wood – this red spider mite – which I stacked 4 shots of in Helicon Focus.
