The zombie apocalypse has begun! (Bugun?). Head for the hills (not that it will do any good).
So, does anyone know what species this was before it was turned into a zombie?
(Just to clear up any confusion, this is a perfectly healthy fly. I just think it looks like a zombie)
Taken yesterday in the Elan valley. Having taken a landscape shot or two I returned to the car and this fly obligingly landed on a side window. I got nice and close.
I have cleaned the window since. HBBBT!

I'm not sure what kind of eggs are these. A tachinid fly?

It seems Tamron 90mm covers full frame Sony A7II sensor.
This female appears to be feeding on another Green Darner. This is the first evidence I have seen that they are cannibalistic.
The hardest part of photographing this grasshopper was finding it in the first place! Very well camouflaged against these leaves.
INSECT WORLD
A magical scene
Dragonfly in summer sun
In an insect world
By Henrhyde (gill)
Dragonfly drying out in sun – probably hatched out from Nymph stage .
Dragonflies do not live long – just days or a few weeks ,
In the nymph stage – they live for years , in mud in ponds .
Or, the equivalent for those flower seekers. Not sure what kind of creature this is (okay, I know it's an insect!!!), but I found it crawling around the top of this dandelion.
Once again - instead of Bench Monday I opted for Bug Monday - just had to show it since Cicadas only come around every 17 years.
Cicada nymphs spend 17 years deep in the soil, feeding on the sap from tree roots.
The nymphs emerge all at once by digging their way to the surface of the soil and climbing up tree trunks. It takes one hour for the outer shell of the nymph to split down the back and the winged adult to emerge. The adults live for up to six weeks, during which time they mate and lay eggs into the trees' twigs. After another six weeks, the newly hatched nymphs burrow below ground.
The buzz comes from the vibrating of shell-like drums on the sides of their abdomens, while their wings amplify the sound like a megaphone
