The following photographs were taken more than a decade ago, in 2008.
This small, empty snail shell was found on the dark, barren terrain that was burned by an accidental fire a couple of days before.
Here you can see a dead millipede that was caught by the aforementioned bushfire.
In these two photographs, you can see two small, burned carcasses. A dead grasshopper on the left, and the remains of a spider in the picture on the right.
These two pill bugs died in a pose that makes them look strangely alive in the desolate macro landscape. The following photograph ...
... was also taken in 2008 but the circumstances were considerably different.
I found this empty exoskeleton, left by the cicada after the metamorphosis, on the coastal meadow under the strong midday sun. The vegetation was mostly brown and dry, and the dusty road was hot as a frying pan.
Here you can see the same thing photographed in four slightly different ways. For the second shot from the left, I used an external flash. For the other three, only the angle from which the photograph is taken was different.
Here you can see another empty shell. The lovely spiral was found on the dried-out Dipsacus fullonum plant.
AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS IN THESE POSTS ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK - THE END.
