A mossy surface, sloping up from left to right. to the right is a darker green, spiky-leaved moss tipped with reddish-brown (hair-cap moss) and to the left is a more chartreuse, smaller-leaved moss with a softer, more tubular shape. I have not identified it.   Electric blue damselfly with some black striping on its thorax and spots along its back, perching on and parallel to a branch roughly as wide as its leg span. Behind and above it, some pine needles are visible.   A wasp of some kind, black with some yellow striping, clinging upside down to a pine needle, its shaking blurring much of its body except a few of its reddish legs. It is eating a piece of something else insectoid that cannot be made out very clearly.   Another blue damselfly perching on an unclearly shaped, thinly spiderwebbed protuberance from a pine branch (needle cluster that failed to develop?). The very tip the damselfly is perching on has a pale green crust of lichen, as do a few spots on the branch.   An orange dragonfly viewed from above, perching on a sunlit patch of a log. Its compound eyes are chocolate brown, transitioning to a yellowy green along their sides. Its limbs are black, as is a sawtooth pattern on either side of its abdomen/tail. Orange pigment at the base of its wings stains the light cast through to the wood.   A mayfly on a log, it and the log extending perpendicular to each other across the diagonals of the frame. Its two tails appear shriveled at their ends.   Another of the orange dragonflies, more amber in color, viewed from above and to its left. The green of the side of its eye is more apparent at this angle. To its right is a translucent rock a bit smaller than its head. It stands on wet, glittering sand, grains mostly of tan, but also of white, grey, black, lime, red, brown and oranges.   In the center of an oxeye daisy viewed from the side is a yellow inchworm with brown spots along its back. It is rearing its head and pollen is visible sticking to its forelegs. The daisy in focus obscures two more to its right.   A sole daisy, with petals curling back and its center browning from yellow. On the petals on its left side is a pale yellow spider with some dull linear markings on its back (garden crab spider)   The garden crab spider, now under the base of a thin leaf on the daisy's stem. It clings with its back two pairs of legs while it extends its front two pairs outwards. Its mouthparts and a few beady black eyes are visible on its head, and black tips and a few coarse black hairs at the ends of its legs   A third view of the garden crab spider, having climbed around the stem to the opposite side of the leaf. It is now full-on T-posing with its front four legs. The lighting is now making the marks on its back look like a concerned, possibly screaming face (two pit eyes with a high, wrinkled forehead, and a round mouth)   Closeup of the center of a daisy, none of the ends of its petals visible in the frame. A tiny beige spider is standing in some kind of an alert pose near the base of a petal. It sort of looks like it's wearing a pair of cool grey shades or a visor.   A fairly adorable elm sawfly larva (easily mistaken for a caterpillar) crawling across gravel and sand. It is yellow, wrinkly and bumpy, with a black dot and a tentacular protrusion visible above each leg, a black stripe along its back, and black dot eyes.
