Well, we did get some snow, fortunately, not as much as they were saying - thanks Heavens!! But I still want to see some more color ;D
During a spot of gardening this ladybird made an appearance climbing up to the top of a pile of dandelions, taking flight for a second, crashing, then repeating the process. It didn't seem to be flying well and was maybe getting it's skills back after hibernation.
This wasp had become trapped on a disused spider's web. It was still alive but trapped by one wing, so when I freeing it didn't do much good as it was damaged.
My favourite part of this picture is easily the colorful moisture within the detail of the leaf caused by the sun. At first i thought my camera or lens was faulty, but it turned out to just be the sun causing an array of little minny bokehs along the moisture! Nice when enlarged!
Полуоткрытая крышечка, расположенная у горловины кувшинчика, на обратной стороне и по краям содержит душистые железы с нектаром, распространяющим привлекательный для насекомых аромат. И одновременно крышечка представляет собой скользкий «аэродромчик». Посадочная площадка душистой крышечки обманно приглашает насекомое: будто бы присесть здесь отдохнуть, и заодно вкусно потрапезничать. А на самом деле, само несчастное насекомое вскоре станет добычей этого интересного растения, когда попадёт внутрь кувшинчика – прямо в пищеварительную жидкость!
Многофункциональная крышечка непентеса также предохраняет кувшинчик от попадания внутрь дождевой воды, выполняя функцию зонтика.

This image represents one in a series of biodiversity photorecords gathered as part of the insect ecology, biodiversity and conservation project The Little Things that Run the City.
This project was co-funded by The City of Melbourne and RMIT University, and is part of the core research being conducted by the Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub of the National Environmental Science Program. Findings from this project have contributed to the City of Melbourne's Nature in the City urban ecology and biodiversity strategy.
Von unten schaut ein Schwefelkäfer zu.
Roter Weichkäfer - Rhagonycha fulva
Rote Weichkäfer werden 7 bis 10 Millimeter lang. Sie sind fast am ganzen Körper rotgelb gefärbt, nur die hinteren Enden der Deckflügel sind dunkel. Sie leben auf Feldern, Wiesen und in Gärten, insbesondere auf Doldenblütlern. (wikipedia)
