      Thank you Theresa! I was looking at the seeds and I didn't expect to find a bug looking back at me. :)

    Hi Gunilla!! Great shots of this fascinating little creature!! Is it caught in a spider's web? Or is this it's own home?

      Thank you Mitchy! There were several of these bugs inside the thistle seeds. It looked like they were hiding in there.

      Tack Ulla! Jag förväntade mig inte heller att hitta den inne i fröna, men som tur var den ju så liten. :)

    Gunilla, I love the contrast of the solid bug with the delicate thistledown!!!

    The thistle all around him makes this looks like a texture was applied to the image. I love it!
