At our jobsite, they had been using really bright lights while working the night shift. When I would come in, in the mornings these little guys were everywhere. I had sat a bottle of water down and a bunch had landed on it. It made me a little curious so I spilled some of the water out and the ones close to it instantly started sucking on the water droplets. This was taken last year during the drought season, so that could be why they acted like that.

That's really a cool shot. Nessa. It almost looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

It pays to have the camera at your side Nessa. The little invader was obviously thirsty. Good post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

What a wonderful close up! I agree with TicK - ALWAYS carry your camera with you because you just never know... I love that you were interested enough to interact with these insects and then for that you were rewarded with a close look at nature!

how can one use letters, words or prose against its own institution? is it not to say that this accepted alphabet can portray intolerable thoughts against itself; the reflection of these words represent the meaning of ones mindless inquiry, generalizing became this text. . .read the marks behind a letter of assurance/ freedom is jailed within. . ." _ EaB
