Ecology Action Photography

Just like at a nursery business, where you may find ecology pots; that is, pots with a group of diverse plants growing together in the same pot, not merely a monoculture, in nature you may take pictures that include multiple elements in the same pictures. Multiple elements makes for ecology action.

Here we espy three main or major elements. These are a blister beetle, a thistle (Cirsium texanum), and a digger bee, maybe. But this is a still shot so you will need to imagine what else is happening. Like that bee may be fixing to get jumped by a blister beetle larva. The blister bee larva get on the bee. Ride back to the bee hole. Then they eat up the bee larva. Mercy!
