I managed to find a somewhat new angle to shoot this rusty-tipped page (Siproeta epaphus) at the Haga Ocean butterfly house.
Here you can see the proboscis of the butterfly. That's the almost rolled up appendage which butterflies and moths use to suck nectar from flowers with.
The proboscis is actually made up of two tubes which are held together by tiny hooks and can be separated for cleaning. The proboscis also contains muscles which allow the butterfly/moth to roll it up or in and also directi it towards the nextar.
Each tube is inwardly concave, which means they form a central tube which moisture is sucked up through.
shot from my first lomo lc-a roll.
it was during that 850-years-of-crappy-munich-binge, so please excuse the blurriness. though i like it. i almost fell onto the rails, because something was wrong with my sense of balance...
Fig tree is filling up. Now to keep animals and birds from eating them before I can pick them. I'm thinking of wrapping the tree in netting.
This geometrid moth is known as the yellow shell (Camptogramma bilineata).
I found it hanging out on the white-painted railing of my mother-in-law's front porch in early August (of 2023).
As it wasn't going anywhere, I managed to take three shots for this one and combine them into a single one using Zerene Stacker.
This was taken at 3.7:1 magnification, but for a shot from the same angle showing the entire wingspan (at 1.2:1 magnification), please have a look at part 1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54218842348/

The Grade I Listed The Bishop's Eye, Market Place, in Wells, Somerset.
The Bishop's Eye is an entrance gateway into a walled precinct, the Liberty of St Andrew, which encloses the twelfth century Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, Vicar's Close and the residences of the clergy who serve the cathedral.
The Bishop's Eye was built around 1450, by Bishop Thomas Beckington (also spelt Beckyngton), and provides the entrance to the Bishop's Palace. It forms one of a pair with the Penniless Porch which formed the gateway into the Cathedral from the market place and is in a similar style.
It is a three-storey building of Doulting ashlar stone, with a copper roof. The timber gates were added in the 18th century. On the front of the structure facing into the market place are a statue niche and heraldic shields carved into the stonework.
It is frequently photographed and has appeared in films such as Hot Fuzz. It was drawn in 1785 by Joseph Mallord William Turner and painted in 1920 by Ernest Haslehust.
The huge inflorescence on a purple angelica (Angelica gigas) becomes a walk-in (walk-on?) buffet for this Saxon wasp (Dolichovespula saxonica) - and simultanously for a lot of its brethren.

Here is an older shot (from June 2018) taken in the Tornberget nature reserve in Haninge, Sweden.
I believe this is to be a male Idas blue (Plebejus idas), sometimes known as the Northern blue, balancing in the dry heather.

Fluffy pony toughing it out in the freezing temperatures. Photo taken through the trees and since he wasn't too interested in me, I had to creep up on him scary monster style!
