Interesting little association

Ive posted this piece before, but I don't think most people caught its significance

What can you see?

Well, you've kept me intrigued...is the lower bug a flying ant? I wondered if it was a wasp mimic, and if the other bug is a cranefly, that would be two mimics...but then the leaf?

Sincerely,

Still searching for significance

Paul,

The suite of flora and fauna (both vert and invert) from this site is really special, and so is the preservation. Kudos!

Hi PF, fret no more. You and wrang are correct. I just didnt think anyone noticed the jumbled up crane fly.

BTW: Here's another cuddly little guy

Insignificant.

It reminds me of a robber fly, family Asilidae.

Nice!

Oops! Trying something new. This one seems to work. Buy VERY out of context. Sorry!

Incredible insects! This place needs a book written about it. (if there isn't one already)

No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.
