Irgendwann beißen wir alle mal ins Gras... Große Harzbiene (Anthidium-byssinum)
At some point, we're all gonna bite the dust... Large resin bee (anthidium-byssinum)
A brief adder (Vipera berus) combat between two males - perhaps it's too obvious to make the point that most animals settle their disputes without resorting to bloodshed...
A tiny insect that I couldn't resist trying to photograph but it proved something of a challenge, this was the only one where I nailed focus after several attempts.
I wiggled my finger and she decided to attack. You can see her sharp little teeth but the bite force isn't enough to brake the skin. 10-1-2023
Several of my 2017 highlights consists of spending time together with my cute 16 months old niece Alexandra, and to photograph her.
We celebrated Christmas together, and will spend the New Year's Eve together tomorrow too - at least some time before she goes to bed ツ

Maybe it was the prospect of the heavy snow and the biting cold wind outside, maybe it was the architecture of Helsinki's Museum of Contemporary Art, but through a view slightly askew, there was a hint of Escher's Relativititeit... Continued...

The midges come out in the evening. Fortunately for us this one doesn't bite people!
This is a male. How do you like his antennae?
PS Midges hold their front legs forward, Mosquitoes hold them backwards.
Biker guy and wife stopped to scoot him along, since I was too afraid to get too close. Was I right? Yeah, look at that face!
Biker's wife said "oh wait, let me get my camera when it's biting you". Ahhh a true photographer! They were a nice couple.
Best if viewed in LARGE to see the turtle salivating!

On our last visit to Zion National Park, I set out to explore the eastern side of Zion Canyon on what felt like one of the coldest mornings that winter. I'd heard about a trail near Checkerboard Mesa and thought the gentle morning light would make it worth exploring. But as soon as I started, I realized it wasn't going to be a simple hike – the entire trail was on slick rocks, with no clear path to follow. The biting cold and wind made it tough to even take the camera out of the bag.
Luckily, the light broke through, and I stumbled upon some interesting rock formations that made the trip worthwhile. Even though it was completely in shadow, my favorite subject that morning was a tree clinging to the rock surface. I had to walk around the tree a bit to find a good composition, and with it entirely in shadow, it was tough to capture an image without underexposing it.
I stopped here on my way home from a gathering of my highschool classmates.( we are becoming fewer and fewer )
On this day the winds were off shore, ( out of the southwest ). We had high and moderate overcast and it was cold. If the winds had been on shore I would not have stopped. It would have been a very cold biting wind and maybe lake effect snow. Lake is still open and what you see here is at low water mark. the wind has pushed the water east toward Buffalo NY. area.
The army corp of engineers built the dykes you see a long the beach front back in the late 80's because of flooding. The lake water lever is 2 feet higher than when i was a kid and used to come out here to my best friends families cottage to go swiming and fishing. The dykes did not exsist then and there was a rather long band of sand between the grass line and the water.
There is practicly no beach today, just a pile of rocks to block the water from advancing further. Lake Erie is moving south and the southern shore line is receeding, ( the lake is reclaiming the land ) This is because of glacial rebound on the Canadian side. Eventually the northern side will be cliffs. The land mass was pushed down by the weight of the ice sheet that covered most of the northern part of North America. It was 2 to 3 miles thick in places. That all changed between 20,000- 15,000 years ago. The Younger Dryas period was the end of the ice age. It was also the period where most of the megelithic fawna went extinct. There are still a few surviers alive today but for the most part the current geolodical structures and fawna in the great lakes is fairly young ( less than 20,000 years old in the area ).
It's really fasinating to delve into the history of this region. there was a lot going on in this area and much of it does not fit well with the current excepted dogma promagated by academea. they don't like to step outside of the comfort zone a deal with the unexplainable stuff.
This is kind of common all over the world. I have traveled the planet ( military, 10 years ) and every continent has totally unexplainable stuff the falls outside the religious and cultural traditions of the area.
Exlpore #465, February 28th, 2007.
Sami caught this one and he lost his tail (which continued to wiggle violently across the floor) and boy, was he pissed off! He kept biting me so this is the best snap I could get of him!
Melanoplus discolor, nymph, biting my finger, photographed about 16.5 miles north of Ardmore, South Dakota on July 2, 2020. I am fairly certain that graasshoppers understand the concept of vengeance. I have found that grasshoppers are easier to tire out than most people believe. Once one gets them tired they can sometimes be coaxed to crawl on your finger to rest. However, biting seems to be a common thing they will do early on. It often seems like once they realize that biting is not effective they just sit for a while, and then jump off once they realize they have the strength to do so.
Winter in Bryce Canyon, Utah. It’s cold. Like 20 degrees below zero, but it felt like more like forty below from an aggressive wind biting at your face.
And I decide it might be fun to go out and shoot some star photos
Fortunately, I had plenty of arctic gear with me and that made all the difference in the world. My hands were always cold from dealing with the camera, but the rest of my body stayed surprisingly warm!
And what a TREAT!
While you’re bound to see a tourist or two during the day even in winter, at night you truly have this amazing place to yourself. Despite a bright crescent moon in the sky, the stars still managed to shine though brilliantly with the milky way diving right down the middle. My exposures were 4 minutes each so I had lots of time to enjoy the show.
(TECH NOTE – If you’ve ever done stars you’re probably wondering how I pulled off a 4 minute exposure without the stars streaking. I was using a tracking system to keep the camera aligned – this also has the effect of capturing WAY more stars than any “normal” night time camera techniques are capable of.)
As I made my exposures over the course of an hour or so, I watched constellations, shooting stars, and satellites all float by the “Silent City” below. The only sound was the wind as it came up from behind me and fell into the canyon. It would occasionally build up to a gust that would try to tear through my insulation, but it made little progress and I’d quickly warm back up.
The entire time it was just me, the stars, and the eerie darkness. Surprising how when you’re out there like that how wild this place feels. I was literally just a three minute walk from the parking lot, but out there making these images it felt like I was totally removed from civilization.
After an hour or so I had taken all the shots I needed and besides, my hands were taking longer and longer to warm up. I don’t mind telling you, I could hardly stand the drive back to the hotel – I just couldn’t wait to check out the images on the computer! I’m personally thrilled with how this shot worked out and I hope you enjoy it too.
Maybe it should be "I love my shoes", as she's eating them. But I know that she hated it before she ate it. That is the story behind the girl who is biting her shoe, "I hate my stilettos"
No, there's nothing wrong with this harvestman's leg - it was waving its leg around rather extravagantly and here, appears to be biting its toenails. I'm positive harvestmen have toenails.
