L'ouverture "sale" indique que ce sont des parasites qui en sont sortis !
The "dirty" opening means it was parasites that emerged from the eggs!
Insects are its color is shiny like this, I just raise the contras was just a little and my image for more detailed pruning no more than that
I'm not sure what type of insect this is, but it was casually hanging out on the paper towel roll the other day and when I turned around it was gone.

2023 - The Honey Ant
Small MOC created for a "Nature" themed contest. It was very difficult to find a subject for this theme because other participants had already represented (and very well) various more traditional subjects. However, typing "strange insects" into Google, I came across Honey Ants: the workers of this species have the particularity of storing food reserves in their body, swelling it up to the size of a grape. As soon as I saw them I understood that I had to represent them even though, due to scale requirements, I had to take slight anatomical liberties 😅.
Piccola MOC realizzata per un contest a tema "Natura". È stato molto difficile trovare un soggetto per questa tematica perché altri partecipanti avevano già rappresentato (e molto bene) svariati soggetti più tradizionali. Però, digitando su google "insetti strani", mi sono imbattuto sulle Formiche del Miele: le operaie di questa specie hanno la particolarità di immagazzinare riserve di cibo nel loro corpo arrivando a gonfiarlo fino alle dimensioni di un chicco d'uva. Appena le ho viste ho capito che dovevo rappresentarle nonostante, per esigenze di scala, abbia dovuto prendermi delle leggere libertà anatomiche 😅.

Weird sight today on Chingford Plain in Epping Forest. Several large bushes completely covered in silk sheets alive with thousands of caterpillars. All leaves eaten and just bare twigs remaining.
Archibasis mimetes, male. Coenagrionidae. Murrinja Boardwalk, Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia.
A female Mymar pulchellum parasitoid wasp of the Mymaridae family found in birch in the garden. Have only found males thus far, hence very pleased to find a female in the same location. Additional pictures below can all be viewed larger with a click. Note the hindwing is reduced to a mere filament that is no more than a quarter the length of that fabulous forewing, and in the second last picture below you can see the hamuli that link the hindwing to the forewing.
After I had no luck with insects in our garden, I went to the botanical garden in Duisburg-Hamborn. And, eventually, there were some. Not a many as I'd have expected, but some at least.
Nachdem ich neulich wenig Glück hatte mit Insekten in unserem Garten bin ich heute in den Botanischen Garten in Duisburg-Hamborn gefahren. Und, letzendlich, da waren welche. Weniger als erwartet, aber immerhin.
This is an odd posting: Disappointing photos. Today, while waiting for my wife to fetch me from the ophthalmologist, I stopped to gawk at bees busily bouncing about flowers for nectar. Hundreds of them gathered and proved no threat to me as I closed in and captured 20 shots, using iPhone XS.
Grumble. Can the Apple cameras do no better than this and the next two, which are the best of a bad lot? I experimented with standard and Portrait modes—and all the pics look artificial at best, and not sharp enough at worst.
On this first of the trio, composition kind of works because of the similar position of the flying bee in the foreground and the one in the blurred background. That’s the only quality redeeming the photo for me.
