Nice remark, Chun! indeed! it is amazing how so different living forms can look so alike :-)
Reminds me of your other spotting :-)

Beautiful, Marta!
thanks! yes, they were really cute! the marshes in that area of Holland are full of sundew, bell heather and eyebright flowers but all of these are tiny so you have to really get in and get wet a bit (the ground is actually dead grass and it leaks the water through) to see them close :-)
very pretty!
