Julodis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae.

These were absolutely tiny I have no idea what they are though! Happy in the garden on top of the moth box - which I hasten to add has attracted many things but not a single moth lol! Not that I'm complaining ;0) HIHD/HWW

….first time using my Canon M50 in the black & white/monochrome function. Took a few photos with it and this Wild Grape leaf & vine, is just one of them.

Aredolpona succedanea

I think the meaning of the word "life line" is different from this picture, but it is just I wan to use this word.

Thank you everyone for your comments and Fav.!

But good luck for this tiny spider which was enjoying its lunch as I approached with my camera.

First this year, Shield Bugs seen in my garden.

看似像一塊花布嗎？

今天拍到時相當興奮，因為牠很難拍到屬稀有種。

insect

Darter dragonfly. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene

Bako National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia. I found photographing in the rainforest very challenging, because the light from sun was often greatly dimmed by the canopy. To get a better exposure of the mantis, I played with my flash for a while, but the results weren’t satisfying. In the end, I created this silhouette by keeping the mantis in the shadows and exposing on some sunlit leaves in the background.

Taken handheld (continuous shooting). Merged 25 frames. Software: Focus Stacker for Mac.
