Bug of the Day

Ok, here is something tiny and fuzzy for today's Bug of the Day. This is a microcaddisfly - if you are familiar with caddisflies, they are in the same order but so so much smaller. This one is just a few millimeters long. If you are not familiar with caddisflies, then, well, this is just smol and fuzzy :-). I found it on a Japanese knotweed leaf (zoomed out photo to try to show you the scale).

Bug of the Day

Doubtful I can get much beyond “Microcaddisfly” on this blip of a thing I found on the wall of my porch. I’m impressed it is at all in focus considering it was under 3mm long. Weird little creatures...
