Photo Gallery - Very Small Creatures

small blue fly

Invertebrates are a fact of life in the country for good or ill. We need many of these beneficial creatures to pollinate the fruits and flowers, and to help maintain the soil and to compost and recycle organic material. Because of our small orchard and our perennials there are many insects to be seen throughout the growing season. We try to photograph and document each new species that we come across.
