Forgotten …

… but not lost.

Winter is over and spring is on the way. Time for little ones …

And this little one is laying more little ones. Into the soft stem site on a fallen pawpaw.

Her unmistakeable actions set her apart, and she is solitary, not another of her kind about.

Intriguing little things, obviously designed with great consideration for functional detail.

And aesthetic appreciation … A designer indeed, if unformed and unnameable. … An intelligence that doesn’t bend to the rational mind.

The first fruit fly of its kind this year, laying into the pawpaw left out for the purpose.

We have similiar fruit flies. I like them very much.
Wonderful pictures, Mark!
Btw, summer is here nearly finished. Let’s see if there are some warm days in September yet.
