I have no ID on this one, it was wandering around my kitchen late at night, so I dashed back upstairs to get some camera gear. Happily, he was still there though he didn't stay still enough to stack any images. This shot was approximately 2.5x magnification.
Lacewing portrait. I have found several adult Lacewings in the house recently. I have managed to catch a few and put them outside, but it has now turned very cold. Instead, I grabbed the macro lens and got a few shots as this one sat on a wall at the top of the stairs. A short while later the cat was sat right by where the Lacewing had been. I can only hope it flew off, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might have become a cat snack.

Eine Clematisblüte mit Ameisen und Blattläusen. Die kugeligen hellbraunen Blattläuse sind parasitiert, d.h. von Schupfwespen angebohrt und mit einem Ei versehen. Danach blähen sich diese Blattläuse auf und mumifizieren, bis eine junge Schlupfwespe aus der Mumie schlüpft. So erledigt sich das Blattlausproblem auf natürliche Weise.

Wheel Bug found in the United States. It is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, reaching up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length in its adult stage. Nymphs do not yet have the wheel-shaped structure. Body length of the nymph in the photo approximately 2.5 cm.
Wings still half-lifted, feet not quite touching down yet — that split second before she settles into the fennel's yellow lace. All that green feathery mess around her, and she goes straight for the good stuff without hesitation.
The genus name Orgyia is from the ancient Greek word ὄργυια, órgyia - 'outstretched arms'. So named because, when at rest, the moth stretches forward its forelegs like arms.
The larvae are brightly colored, with tufts of hair-like setae, about 6 cm long. The head is bright red and the body has yellow and orange dots, with a black stripe along the middle of the back. Four white toothbrush-like tufts stand out from the back, and a gray-brown hair pencil is at the hind end. There’s a theory that the four white tufts mimic the external cocoons of parasitic wasps. Touching the hairs sets off an allergic reaction in many humans.

Summer on the balcony: among the lavender blossoms, small visitors return again and again.
A quiet moment filled with summer colours, the scent of flowers, and the gentle art of doing nothing.

A beautiful dragonfly resting in my garden!! This one being a weak flyer, it couldn't stay on a particular spot for more than few seconds due to strong gusts of wind. Was running behind this beautiful one, hoping it could stay long enough for me to get a sharp image & it was rewarding to finally click this!!
