I haven't been taking many pictures the last couple of weeks, (and today it's pouring rain), but here's a photo I took on Christmas Eve three years ago, of a single green lacewing egg in my garden. Think of it as a wrapped present with a bug in it.

Saw a new slime mould today, possibly a Stemonitus.

Checked it again a few hours later on the way back and the ends had small red drops.

Broke a record this weekend for the absolute latest sowing of garlic ever. 🧄🌱 Let’s hope climate change is good for something - good luck little noodles.

I spotted this lovely Great Horned Owl while driving, pulled over & used the railing on a bridge to steady my camera. You can see the sunrise in its eyes… 🪶 1/80, f/6.3, ISO 1000

Slime mold, Arcyria stipata. This specimen is about 3” across. At Yellowknife, NWT, Canada.

This was a fun find today!

I believe these are Insect-egg slim mold, Leocarpus fragilis, hanging out on the upper reaches of the stipe of this likely Red Pinwheel fungi, Marasmius plicatulus.

--in which you can better see the eyes and mandibles on the new babies, plus see both structures clearly showing through the shells on the still-unhatched eggs. (Btw, mama earwig was close by in a burrow. She didn't want to come out into the light, so I carefully replaced the rock.)
