I found this ladybug on a thistle. I moved the thistle a bit so that it won't be in the shadow of the other plant. When I touched its petals the lady bug crawled on my left hand, good thing I was quick enough to press the shutter before its flight. In conclusion, this is another lucky shot. Just like this one: Seconds before take-off
I think that this might be a type of Scissor Bee (Chelostoma), but I'm not sure. I found it snoozing in a flower.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, manual mode, key (A)and the fill (B) set to 1/16 -1/3 power. This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo AI and Clarity in that order.
browsing some pics, insect photography got into my mind. one of the most challenging photography (sply if u are having just 18-55 lens )... and that afternoon i decided to go out for a walking and take some good snaps of insects. man believe me or not, they seldom stay in a single place !
Insect photography - a must project for all photographers to enhance their photography skills !
Black swallowtail butterfly finds itself a nice flower to feed on. But then, this wasp wants in on the meal. Attacks the butterfly from the rear. Butterfly will not surrender its spot.

EXPLORE # 350 September 24, 2009 ---- This is another macro from Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge from near the Visitors Center Butterfly Garden. The blue was so striking on this guy I just had to photograph the Dragonfly. Thanks for looking and all the comments. Photo cannot be copied without written permission of Photographer. WONDERFUL IN LARGE
I saw this Long Horned Beetle drinking dew off of this flower's petals so I put some Agave nectar down to see if I could get a shot of it's mount parts. This is the best frame I could manage -very tricky to photograph.
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 flower with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
I only fly away
I don't know where my home is
I don't know where my soul is ..

Hier konnte ich diesen wunderschönen Kerl knipsen. Der kleine war wohl ein wenig erschöpft um vor mir weg zu fliegen :)
Mysterious Leucophyes pedestris in Macro
This macro photograph showcases the fascinating Leucophyes pedestris, a unique member of the weevil family. Known for its distinct long snout and intriguing behaviors, this beetle is a captivating subject for macro photography.
Did you know? 🤔
Leucophyes pedestris uses its long snout to pierce plants and lay eggs inside. This helps protect the offspring from predators and harsh environmental conditions. The hatched larvae feed on the plant tissues from the inside, which can cause damage to the plant.
It's very common for flying insects to clean themselves after they're done foraging for nectar and pollen. I like to call it "Pre-Flight Maintenance". This female solitary bee is covered in Poppy pollen, and took the time to clean her antenna.
