We all felt, at least once, that our problems have become big and heavy as dinosaurs. To overcome this deceiver proportion, I think it helps to lift our eyes to the sky. “Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us” said the great Carl Sagan.
While this is a big perspective, there’s also the small one, equally beautiful. Using our eyes or adding a lens for details, we can take a look at the universe beneath our feet, in grandma’s backyard or the city park. It abounds in life, colorful, diverse, complex, fascinating life.

Cute , I don't think so , more like : "what are you looking at ?!! "
I know what a grasshopper looks like. But taken from this perspective, those tall, bendy back-knees look so weird!!
Mine too!! I love bugs, insects and even rodents but I hate those green monsters!! Other crickets doesn't bother me but grasshoppers... ugh!!! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Spiders spinning their clever webs, watching for prey with robot-like eyes, eating it unhurried, exploring.
Ants are always on the run.
My god I love these guys. Robber Fly. When I was little, and one would find me, it would follow me for about a block before getting bored. I used to have wonderful conversations with them.
I remember catching grasshoppers as a child. It was fun to chase them and catch them, but it wasn’t interesting the way catching a frog or lizard or snake was interesting, so I always just tossed them back into the field.
Blurg... I hate these guys. always sucking the life out of my strawberry plants. It's a good thing my aphid lions (ladybug larva) live all around me in the Rhododendrons. :D
Very nice photos!! Arthropods (and the mollusks) are fascinating creatures and I absolutely love it! After taking entomology a few years back, I'm always interested in learning more about them. Arachnids, Lepidopterans (Butterflies/Moths), and Odonates (Dragonflies/Damselflies) are my absolute favorites.
