Bug Season Makes for Interesting Close ups!

I am fascinated with close ups of both bugs and flowers. Not that I’d like this bug in my house or sitting on my shoulder, but it is so very delicate looking and his body a brilliant lime green. Take a look at the center of the flower. Amazing patterns. Bruce at GeometryCode.com says “the seed head spirals — one goes clock-wise the other counter clock-wise — are consecutive Fibonacci numbers.” If interested find out more about geometrical patterns here!

Opps, it looks like the bug had a few bits off the petals already!
