Der Mistkäfer hat hier viel zu tun. Er ist der Saubermacher in dieser Gegend und verräumt die ganzen Hinterlassenschaften der anderen Tiere. Trotzdem hat er so ein gutes Aussehen dass ich mich ihn ihm spiegelte.
The dung beetle has a lot to do here. He is the cleaner in this area and clears away all the remains of the other animals. Still, he looks so good that I mirrored him.
Another shot from my Macro session with the wasps, concentration and mind over matter was what I required as these little insects crawled all over my hands.

This week's Monday Macros theme is "Eye"
Must've been fate when I just happened to find this 'lil guy outside today. This is just a single image shot of a common Horsefly using the Rotolight Neo2 for illumination.
Macros are real fun when the subject strikes your fancy.
One of these days I'm going to attempt extensive image stacking just to see what I can accomplish.
Thank Y'all for taking a look !
Happy Macro Monday my friends.
A first for me. believe it or not I had to manually focus as for some reason my lens is off focussing so I am even more chuffed about this. I will be putting another up tomorrow side on in flight but just want to give this some justice by itself.
Gatekeepers or Hedge Browns are so called because of their tendency to congregate near gates and hedges. Males and females are similar, the main difference is that the male has dark smudges on it's wings. Their main food plants are ragwort and brambles.

While exploring Monet's Garden in Kitagawa Village, Kochi Prefecture, I noticed this tiny caterpillar on a leaf just below the flower buds. With the beautiful blue sky in the background, it was one of those little surprises that made me stop and take a closer look. Sometimes the smallest things are worth noticing during a garden walk.
Hi Everyone!
This is a fairly common dragonfly. It's been a particularly good year for seeing them.
Thank you so much for viewing and for your comments! I do LOVE hearing from you! Wishing you a wonderful day and week ahead!

Gulf fritillary butterfly also called passion butterfly has a bright orange color. It is most commonly found in the southern areas of the United States, specifically in many regions of Florida and Texas. Gulf fritillaries have a chemical defense mechanism in which they release odorous chemicals in response to predator sightings. As a result, common predators learn to avoid this species.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
A monarch butterfly paid a visit to our mini urban garden, where we are growing pink echinacea coneflowers. We were delighted with this visit as this was the first time we ever had butterflies coming to pollinate our garden flowers. The monarch spent quite a bit of time sucking the nectar from each coneflower, what a feast!
When an adult butterfly lands on a flower to suck some delicious nectar through its proboscis, it accidentally gathers pollen on its body as it rubs against the anther. The butterfly rubs some of the pollen on the next flower it moves to and collects some more. Through this process, the butterfly is able to pollinate numerous flowers as it moves along. Pollination allows plants to reproduce by producing seeds.

Coontie hairstreak is a small colorful butterfly. It is found in southeastern Florida (including the Florida Keys) in the US, the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands in the West Indies. Its coloration and habits are unique among butterflies within its range. The larvae feed on a native cycad (commonly called "coontie palm"). Adult butterflies take flower nectar and sometimes roost in trees. Adults fly through much of the year.

Una Rhingia campestris se detiene por un instante entre los delicados pétalos azules, ajena al mundo que la rodea. Su cuerpo cobrizo contrasta con el verde luminoso del fondo, creando una pequeña escena de color, luz y naturaleza.
Un instante fugaz de esos que la fotografía permite detener para siempre.
Feliz semana amigos
