The Apionidae weevils are quite small, this Apion frumentarium is the largest species of the genus here at a still not-so-massive 3-4 mm in length.
It was hanging out in the middle of a bunch of stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) so I was glad I wasn't wearing shorts when I spotted the tiny, intensly red speck on the green leaves.
The way the red appears to be warmer inside looks really cool in my opinion - and also the feet are kinda cute in this shot. Snoot and boots!

In de oude fabriekshallen van machinefabriek Backer en Rueb in Breda. PhotoBreda 2022.

We begonnen bij het voormalige industriegebied in de wijk Belcrum op het terrein van voormalig machinefabriek Backer & Rueb. De entreeprijs van bijna 20 euro vonden we te gortig, evenals 5 euro voor een appelpunt in Brack.

The brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni) is one of the more common butterflies in Sweden and since they both appear early in spring and fly all the way until autumn, a lot of people miss how incredibly beutiful they actually are.
Just look at that purple shoulder and the way the hairs on the body and legs are aligned in almost a brush-like fashion.
The flower it sits on (which I can thouroughly recommend for your garden if you want to attract butterflies) is a heartleaf oxeye (Telekia speciosa).

From his small boat, a farmer tends his seedlings in the floating garden - floating beds of weeds, lashed together with bamboo poles, upon which his crops are planted - on Inle Lake.

Some sort of female Heliophanus jumping spider looking curiously down from my finger while trying to decide if that's the right way to teleport next.
The pattern of this one looks very distinct and you'd think it would be very easy to identify, but there are several species which look exactly alike as from what you can see in photos like these. Basically you'd have to break out the magnifying glass and examin the genitalia to tell which species.
This remind me of a problem people do when using Google to verify an ID suggestion. Let's say someone thinks this is a copper sun jumper, Heliophanus cupreus, and google it. Great - every photo Google find of one looks exactly like this so it must be that, right?
No. It might just as well be a H. auratus or maybe a H. dubius which look just the same. Which is why ID'ing on just likeness doesn't work.

Lily's in the valley of focus and bokeh.... Such fun we have...
This really needs to be viewed ORIGINAL if you have time... thanks....
A young European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) - fittingly in my garden.
We have a thuja hedge on the north side of the garden and these guys seem to really like to build their webs there.
Also, the two white bristles pointing out from the head of this one gives it a bit of a satanic look, wouldn't you say?
Fun series of captures of this young girl, a friend of ours, that was at my nephew's birthday party. Too cute to pass up and was some nice lighting coming in through the window as well.
This wasn't what I had planned today at all. However, the sky was so epic and huge with great big lines streaking all over that I decided to go and hop over the wall of the Abbey and take a few shots. Metering for a backlit subject is a pain isnt it!?!
Any critique on this is particularly welcome this time around as I'm completely undecided. It may get ripped down and confined to the bin. Press "L"....
These guys really look like just another small black fly until you come in a little closer. Too bad they don't stay still for very long.
This particular specimen is a female Chrysis impressa and was checking out the stairs up to the front door when we met.

Walking along the shorefront by the old West Pier today I was approached by an old man all togged up for the -2 temperature in layers with gloves, scarf, hat the works.
He asked me if I was a photographer which I sheepishly replied yes half expecting him to ask me to take his picture when I noticed he was carrying some kind of pot under his arm. He also had his camera gear with him and had been taking some pictures the same as me. Then he said:
"Hi, my names Ed and I was hoping you might do me a favour please? I've come down to the beach today to scatter my Fathers ashes. He lived up there behind you for the last fourteen years of his life and this was his favourite view. He's been gone for three years now but he had a thing for the number 12 so I've been waiting for this day. My brother can't be here today as he's disabled so I was hoping that you could film me scattering his ashes on my iphone for me? Would you mind?"
What can you say to that. Of course I didn't mind. So I filmed him as best as I could spreading the ashes into the lapping waves and waving his Father goodbye for the last time and then I watched him trudge up the shingle towards me and thank me with tears in his eyes.
We stood there looking out at the horizon for a while and chatted away and he even lent me his tripod for a minute to take this. And then he left. The most humbling few minutes I've ever experienced. Sometimes things just catch you completely by surprise and touch you when you least expected it.
This is for Ed.

Pretty unsurprisingly, the female of the nursery web spider (Pisaura mirabilis) constructs a nursery web where the eggs she has carried around in her egg sac are hatched under her protection.
In this shot, it sure looks like she is keeping a watchful eye on the big camera lens I stuck in here face, right?
Sometimes species are given very creative common names - and sometimes quite the opposite.
This one got the latter as it has been named "orange moth". The scientific name, Angerona prunaria as well as the Swedish name indicate a preference of prunes as a host plant, but the larvae actually eat some other plants as well.
It's only the male which has this orange colour - the female has a more discreet beige coat instead.

Shield bugs go through several instar stages, often looking quite different to the final adult form.
That is the case for the vernal shieldbug (Peribalus strictus) where this is the final instar and after the next transformation it will lose that metallic and red paint job, but instead will gain some really nicely painted antennae in orange and black.

Everywhere I went in London I seemed to encounter a jobsworth, they always start the conversation with; "hello sir, can I ask what you are doing." Did they go to school I think to myself, I have a camera, tripod, camera bag. My camera is on the tripod and I have it aimed at a subject, what the h............
Definition: A jobsworth is a person who uses their job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner.
