My world with Nature.Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.
Umbilicaria deusta, the Navel lichen.
Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 6:39 pm I like the black things that one can find in the woods. We have lots of rocks and rocky areas so we have a lot of different species.

Robber fly, Machimus sp.
Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2013 5:27 am This is a robber fly. It will kill anything that it can catch, including other robber flies. If you look closely you can see that it is enjoying a small snack. It is about 3/4 inch long so you have to get rather close to them.
