This little horsefly captured by photographer Ludwig C. seems to be saying hello to the camera. Ludig captured this image with the help of a Fotodiox Macro Extension Tube, which can turn almost any lens into a macro focusing lens! Click here to learn more: bit.ly/3gcYczJ

Colorful adult male jumping spider eyes...

Like a tiny armoured tank, making its way through foliage, on the look out for some juicy aphids to snack on. Psyllids and mealybugs are also part of the Harmonia conformis ladybird larva's diet. And I've read that they have also been observed feeding on larvae of other ladybird species.

 

Harmonia conformis is one of our large, native ladybirds.

All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking-off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.

Believed to be Chrysolina banksi. This posed nicely for the camera.

Not sure what this one is, but it has a nice butt anyway.

If you look closely you can see that this dragonfly found a yummy snack.

Just one little reason to love spring and summer. I plant coneflowers at my house for the bees and the butterflies.
