Observations "hiding" in other observations; Share your examples!

A few months ago I found a Royal Tigertail dragonfly (a lifer for me and possibly my favourite observation) and this mosquito was in the picture as well!

Any chance that might be another duck or a Canada goose bent down in the grass instead? “Hind leg” = neck and head, “tail” = extended wing?

Hmmmmm… because I was baffled at the color changes being canine…

Y’know, you may be on the right track—which would explain why my brain hit the ‘ignore’ filter. :grin:

Awesome! Thank you both for bringing your eyeballs and expertise to the conundrum. :heart_hands:

Actually I looked again and it looked like a standing goose, two legs and the low belly, tail on the right… and I thought " if that was a coyote or fox those birds would’ve known…"

It’s out of focus, but there is an ant hiding in my photo of this mantis.

There is a bee (or beetle?) butt sticking out of this columbine flower! I never noticed it until another user pointed it out to me

Wow, that is so tiny. It took me longer than I would care to admit.

I had already put up the photo as observations of moss and of fungi before I noticed it :D
