This festival of waxy lumps is a baby biting midge, AKA a Forcipomyia larvae. Before they grow up to be bloodsuckers, they're surprisingly cute.

They're very common on decaying logs here in Aotearoa, but I don't often photograph them. However, my good friend and fellow macrophotographer Andy Murray loves them, and has a whole webpage dedicated to them - so go check that out!

Dive number: 692
Date / time: Thu Jun 26, 2025 11:05 AM
Dive site: Lanesville, Massachusetts
Water Temperature: 47F at the wall, 54F otherwise
Bottom Time: 1h14

The surface was a bit stirred up, so I didn't have high expectations for conditions underneath and my assessment was accurate. The viz wasn't great and there was pretty significant surge most of the dive. There was some good life on the granite ledges including several tiny dotos actively laying eggs and some unusual white things I believe were whelk eggs, but the surge and milky viz made photography very difficult. We navigated straight out at 330 and it took us 25 minutes to get to the wall. We slowly descended to 60 feet and I found a half-blind sea raven, a couple nudis, a slime worm, and some anemones, but we soon had to turn back. I navigated back attentively, but when we surfaced to look, we were way off track due to a current running perpendicular to shore. We descended again, slightly overshot the exit, and swam back. Some waves had kicked up, which made the exit a bit messy. There was quite a bit of crawling on hands and knees to scramble out of the water and up the rocks. Not the best dive, but good to get back to Lanes after a long while.

It's getting busy in our garden! Some of the most common guests stopping by for a snack are hummingbird hawk-moths. They're almost as fluffy as they are fast!
