It rained this afternoon and when it stopped I went looking for something to shoot and found this waterlogged male Red Mason Bee in a flower covered in pollen.

Not sure what this Caterpillar will turn into. Seems to like to eat the stamen in my flowers.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

or simply postman, is a brightly colored, geographically variable butterfly species found throughout Central and South America. The postman butterfly is predominately black with either red or yellow bands across the forewings. The postman butterfly has large long wings (35–39 mm). It is poisonous, and the red patterns on its wings are an example of aposematism.

Moth found in Merenberg, La Plata, Huila, Colombia.

 

I found a lot of moths in this beautifull place. When I was taking this picture, the moth leave flighing, I ran to save it but when I was very near to the moth, a bird (Tyrannus sp), trap it first and I losed my moth.

Hier habe ich mal versucht eine Goldfliege (4mm) von ganz Nahe zu fotografieren.

Hier bei habe ich mich für einen Stack Freihand entschieden,

das Bild entstand aus 35 einzelne Bilder. 📷💯👍

Caterpillars feed by extending their heads and then curling up as they chew. So the trick was to focus right at the edge of the leaf and wait for the critter to bring it's head up to start the next "row". I got seven frames before it figured out I was close and stopped feeding.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + 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. I'm holding on to the stem of the plant with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.

I was watching honeybees forage for water from a leaking faucet at my mother in law's farm and managed to get one of them interested in a flower that I had injected with Agave nectar. Without the "bait" she wouldn't let me get close.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to over 1x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL mode, -1 FEC). This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo and Clarity in that order. ISO and shutter set to expose for the natural light in the background.

I was hiking to the top of a hill when I looked up and noticed something odd about the fence post next to me. Gotta love the way a Walking Stick blends in to its surroundings.

The small honey bee native to Ireland is called the Apis mellifera mellifera, also known as the Northern dark bee or the Black Bee. It is a subspecies of the European honey bee and is particularly well-suited to the Irish climate. This honey bee is smaller and more hairy than some other honey bee types, and it is known for its resilience to the wet and cool Irish weather.

 

Here's another amazing macro setup from photographer Robbie Keene, using two sets of Fotodiox Nikon Macro Extension Tubes and a Fotodiox M42 to Nikon adapter to mount a microscope objective lens on his Nikon DSLR, so he could shoot stunning macro work like this!

We just wanted to share a little different image with everyone!! I still used my flash and better beamer on my telephoto lens, but added 1 extension tube to make it into a macro lens!! It works great and allows you a little distance from your subject!! This also works well when you are shooting small birds at close range (shortens minimum focus distance) !! I turned up the flash a little to try to pick up more details on the wings. Well we hope you like our efforts and as always thanks for looking!!

These bugs with a pair of long antennae were gorging on lichens... They were packed tightly in a group that they looked like grains lump

so many flies.. not enough time/motivation to get a proper identification

Diesen Grashüpfer konnte ich letztens Abends bei Sonne ablichten.📷💯 Sehr schön wie die Sonne durch Ihn teils durch scheint. 😇

The collective name for ladybirds is the Coccinellidae, which has its origins in the Latin word coccineus meaning ‘scarlet’. The word ‘Ladybird’ is thought to have been inspired by early images of the Virgin Mary who would appear wearing a red cloak. Other colloquial names include ‘Ladybug’ (particularly common in America) and ‘Ladycow’.

The number of spots on a ladybird indicates what species it belongs to, not, as commonly believed, how old it is. To identify the ladybird species accurately, the colour and number of spots needs to be taken into consideration.
