What beautiful little things. At that size, and reluctant to wear my specs or bend down :) I probably would have thought it was liverwort or similar. Very nice find. Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks, they were tiny! I frequently can’t really see what I’m photographing clearly until I upload on to my computer ;P Posted 7 years ago
