Insect

Insects (Class Insecta) are a major group of arthropods and the most diverse group of animals on the Earth, with over a million described species—more than half of all known living organisms—with estimates of undescribed species as high as 30 million, thus potentially representing over 90% of the differing life forms on the planet.

Gli insetti rappresentano all'incirca l'80% dell'intero regno animale; se ne conoscono più di un milione di specie ed il numero è destinato ad incrementare di giorno in giorno col procedere della ricerca entomologica.

I am not a close up expert , nor my preferred genre type of images that i like to take. These are not supposed to show every detail of flower or insect, but more to show in their setting habitat.
