Next, how's this for a tiny weevil? Tentatively identified as Dorytomus tortrix. Specimen is just 2.5 mm long.

And this tiny moth (just 4 mm long) is awaiting ID, but I'm already being told that it's possibly the wonderfully named Dyseriocrania subpurpurella ... doesn't this one have a really cute face?  :D

Excellent!

Who needs David Attenborough?


(Only joking, of course;
the world needs him and people like him - and Calilasseia;
every cloth-eared climate-change denier should be locked in a room and forced to watch Sir D's latest documentary 'Climate Change - the Facts' until the penny drops.)

"every cloth-eared climate-change denier" ...

Anyone particular in mind, Mike? Perhaps no need to answer that.

I am not sure if Mike is familiar with Australian politics but if he is, he would have fertile fields to pick from here.  In particular an ex Prime Minister known for his budgie smugglers; and an ex Deputy Prime Minister nicknamed Beetrooter, partly because of his florid complexion and other activities I am to delicate to mention; and a wannabe but failed-to-become Prime Minister lovingly (not) nicknamed potato head.

When birds are a bit sparse on my birding trips I like to turn my camera onto insects, especially butterflies and dragonflies. I believe this one, in Malaysia, is called a yellow-barred flutterer. A gorgeous creature.
