      Actually, I forgot to mention them ;P. My favorites are the two fuzzy bugs in the upper left...they almost completely blend in with the bark! I wish I had seen them when I took this photo. Posted 5 years ago

      I wonder what they were doing. I've never seen worms in fungus like that before. Posted 5 years ago
