Today was photograph radioactive mineral day, I'm sure I will post more up but I'm starting here as I like this shot.
This is Boltwoodite, a potassium-uranium bearing silicate mineral. Both the yellow and orange crystals are boltwoodite.

Probably more of a vein in a wall of rock more likely. It is out of Namibia Africa region. I hope the pics blow up big when clicked.

Re: Macro & Close-Up Photos!
Meta-Autunite - can you guess it is radioactive? I have measured the average activity at 3.5 micro-sieverts/hr and 2300-2400 counts per minute (cpm) at its closed perky box.
For reference, my background radiation rate averages about 0.1 micro-sieverts/hr and about 100cpm.

Robber Flies with prey.
Snipe Fly - Another predatory species.
Long-legged Fly - I was surprised to find out that these were predatory, feeding on other small arthropods such as Spider Mites, Aphids, Whiteflies, and even Termites.

This one technically exceeds the macro range and it's not a current photo, obviously.
