Banded Thrip

From an ox-eye type large daisy in the garden.
By scaling off the computer screen image, I made this about 2.6mm long.....

K5, 100mm. D FA Macro, manual focus, handheld.

Thanks for looking, keep warm,

Roger.

Well spotted, well photographed.

So that's a thrip, something I've heard about but didn't know what it looked like. Another day when I've learned something new.

Still warm, with thunder passing overhead on its way north. Apparently good weather for thrips (also known as thunder flies).

Thanks, Steve.

Only thrips I ever saw were the really tiny ones scurrying about behind framed picture glass. Could never figure out why or how they ever got in there....

As always, it's only when you really start trying to find something, it becomes apparent just how many different sorts of everything there are!!!

Wonderful!

Roger.
