Build

Published on by bushboy

The Tuesday Photo Challenge word prompt from Frank: Build has elicited some great entries. Well worth a visit to Dutch goes the Photo

As is my usual want, here are some builds from nature. I have posted bird nests over the past few weeks so I thought I would put some insect builds
The caterpillar builds it’s cocoon from sticks woven with silk thread.

I still don’t know whose nest this is. I have the piece of wood on my verandah waiting to see if anyone emerges. Isn’t it a fabulous build?

The Bull Ants build a large mound and if anyone comes near, out they come to defend their nest.

The spiders web is a fascinating build. This one I found on the ground, complete with dew drops sparkling like jewels, before the suns warmth melted it away

  2. I like all the unique nature photos here – and the uniqueness of the drops on the nest is what I kept going back too – has this cellular feel with the shapes and size of the droplets.

  6. I am also curious who might emerge from that one nest. Great capture of the cocoon. Amazing how a close up really shows the silky looking thread. Looks comfy. Not sure I would like the house mate though.
