Our Tiny World

I've just spent about half an hour watching a three millimetre life going about its business.

Having just finished university, I am now planning a winter in the mountains and thinking about careers and the rest of my life. But whilst my plans are literally mountain-sized, it's easy to ignore the minuscule.

Fortunately, the nature of being a recent graduate means I have an awful lot of time of my hands, so I watched as this fly slowly drank a droplet of water, regurgitated it and drank it again (for reasons I can't fathom) instead of doing a day's work.

Anyway, the less said the better. These photos are cool.





And when it was done drinking it started talking to me - unfortunately, it's tiny voice couldn't penetrate the double glazing...
