For some of us, at least in the UK, this is wild carrot, the tiny spikey fruits showing the link, for anyone who's sown carrot seed. I believe that cultivated carrots, if allowed to flower, also usually have the solitary reddish or purple flower in the centre. To me, Queen Anne's Lace is <em>Anthriscus sylvestris</em>, but that's the joy of common names - not only may the same plant have several different ones, but the same common name is often used for quite different plants. “Somehow they look like a bunch of tiny Venus Flytraps.” – nice description, and it’s great to see you enjoying that envy-inspiring macro lens to reveal these delights.

Since I've started photography, I've been noticing things that I never would have if I never did photography. Especially here in Amami, while driving to work, I notice how may trees actually blossom in the early summer. In the thirteen plus years I've lived here, I never noticed until this year. Thanks for sharing these great photos. Fantastic photos. Since I’ve started photography, I’ve been noticing things that I never would have if I never did photography.
