Tangled Thoughts 
I love these shots! Especially the one with the mussels. Thanks for visiting my site.
Oh, such sweet lady bugs! Praying mantises creep me out. They’re fascinating. But creepy.
Wow these are great. Do you have a macro lens? I love the lady bug shots.
Great photos! I love the macros of the insects and the first mussels photo looks awesome!
