I've been trying to photograph Sweat Bees as they collect pollen from Sourgrass flowers but it hasn't been windy enough, so they can tell when I grab onto the flower's stem. Here's a shot of one leaving a flower after figuring out that I'm close.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order.
Jagged Ambush Bug (Phymata sp.) waiting for a meal. I love photographing these tiny transformer-looking predators. They're at most about the size of two lentils, and easily take down insects larger than themselves.
In a quiet embrace of green leaves,
a midnight bee with wings of twilight blue
whispers to a shy lavender bloom,
their dance a secret sonnet of nature's tender touch.
Juvenile mantis (I think Chaeteessa sp.) at night in a Costa Rican forest. Well-camouflaged creatures are among my favorite macrophoto subjects; what seems drab from a distance almost always has beautiful complexity up close. For instance, look at the thin yellow edging at the base of the spines on the raptorial forelegs.
Under heavy shade on a tree, Lacewing larva is on the move looking for Aphids. Some gather debris on their backs and accrue more as they go. They seem to vary as to what they choose to encrust themselves with. Sometimes it is carcasses of the Aphids they have eaten. This one looks to also have gather lichen of some sort.
Heute habe ich mich mal auf Schmetterlinge konzentriert und es wurde belohnt 😊
Ganz schön flink gewesen der kleine Kerl 😃
Gestern war ich im Garten der Schmetterlinge Schloss Sayn bei Bendorf 📷
Soo viele schöne Falter dort , aber die Lichtbedingungen zum Fotografieren sind schlecht ,man darf kein Blitz verwenden , deshalb die Bilder hier mit hoher ISO .
Aber ich finde die Kamera hat das ganz gut hinbekommen 💯
Not sure what happened to this poor mantis, it didn't stop it from doing it's thing though. Seems like a female probably?
I'm disappointed that I clipped her wing, but she was moving so fast that I barely had time to adjust the frame. In my peripheral vision I could see the flower and the position of it, and those lines, and that's why I framed the scene the way that I did.

Heute endlich habe ich diese schöne Libelle gesichtet und sofort mit meiner Kamera eingefangen :)
Die ist einfach nur toll ....
