Who makes these wooden grasshoppers?
(Just joking. Is a real grasshopper, presumably made of chitin, hemolymph, and love.)

A handsome six-spotted tiger beetle. These guys are blindingly fast runners, and can take to the air. I was lucky that this one stood still long enough for a picture.

caught little angels meeting in the forest 
they kinda look like tiny moths, but are Derbid insects, related to planthoppers and true bugs

Short-nosed weevil (Phyllobius pomaceus) on a stinging nettle. Unfortunately, there is no literal translation that can summarize how funny the German name of this beetle is: Nessel-Blattrüssler oder Brennnessel-Grünrüssler.

the fungus takes over the insect, grows at its cost, possesses its mind and body - now it has legs.
then proceeds to climbs roots, branches and leaves, spills over the half-eaten exoskeleton, explodes in spores.
one life made into thousands. recycle.

@futurebird We liked Trilobites! too. Fortey is a very accessible writer; we also enjoyed Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms. Amazing ideas about arthropod evolution.

Did somebody say isopod? I saw this cute little bugger a couple days ago. I really like how this one turned out despite the tail being out of focus. It's a Little Sea Pill Woodlouse.
A little harvestman sits at the center of a fiddlehead's spiral, like a minotaur at the center of a maze.

Here's a cute caterpillar doing its best to disrupt your feed. This is the Shag Carpet Caterpillar Moth (Prothysana sp.). As an adult, it is sorta a drab triangular brown thing, but as a larva, I find it resplendent. Its larval scales are way cooler than the adult ones.
