Les syrphes sont très souvent confondus avec un autre diptère : la guêpe !
Le syrphe se pare volontairement de rayures noires et jaunes pour dissuader les prédateurs. Alors qu’en réalité, les syrphes ne sont que de simples mouches…
La larve des syrphes rend de grands services à l’agriculture en dévorant des quantités immenses de pucerons.
Hoverflies are very often confused with another dipteran: the wasp!
The hoverfly is deliberately adorned with black and yellow stripes to deter predators. While in reality, hoverflies are just simple flies ...
The hoverfly larvae are of great service to agriculture by devouring huge quantities of aphids.
Alien nightmares are made of this…
… though they are nice to eat too. :)
Recently I have been playing a bit with my Carl Zeiss Flektogon vintage lens. This image was taken during a visit to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) garden at Wisley. Wisley is one of the largest of their sites and is full of interesting plants all neatly labelled and planted in acres of crafted garden. You can wander for days, especially if you have a camera and a macro lens…
This is an artichoke from the vegetable patch. It looks really villainous if you get up close and crop out the context. Tastes lovely though ;)
For the Macro Wednesday group.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)
[Handheld in daylight.
Developed in Capture One for colour and soft detail.
Processed in Affinity with a square crop, High Pass/Linear Light blend and USM sharpening and a strong, but soft, dark vignette. Curves adjustment in LAB mode both to enhance the colour contrast and to control the tones; reduced saturation in an HSL adjustment and changed the hue of the reds to something warmer for better colour matching.]
As the Pacific salmon migrate from the sea up to their spawning grounds on rivers (where they die after spawning) they encounter apex predators such as grizzly bears, wolves and eagles. The salmon provide a valuable source of nutrition to the predators that help them survive lean winters. Cariboo Chilcotin, BC.

Yesterday we had wild weather in Ocean Shores. We were treated with three bald eagles while we were beachcomber afterwards. This one was snacking on a seagull.
Experimenting with a Mandelbulb Fractal I made and then put on my laptop screen.
I posed the figure in front of the screen to create this scene.
Added some LUTS and a starburst in ON1.
This was a fun rainy day experiment.
For the purposes of this comic, the only “canonical” texts are the first Predator film and the first Batman vs. Predator miniseries–all other comics and movies involving the Predator are ignored. As for when it’s supposed to take place in DC continuity–I don’t really care. By including the miniseries as history I’ve already placed it outside the DC canon anyway.
Well, I should rather work on my Alien vs. Predator presentation for university. But the subject was just to inspiring not to build something related to it. I chose the Predator.
Originally it was planed to build him with his creepy face but I couldn't find a proper way to build it in this scale. So he comes with helmet. The fitting amor gave me the chance to use some Hero Factory parts in pearl silver I had laying around.
Furthermore I tried something new with the background.
I hope you like it.

Not exactly a Mona Lisa smile, but her eyes !! Enigmatic and meditative. But that's enough anthropomorphism...
Owls in general have poor eyesight. This lady has yellow irises, which means she is diurnal. Nocturnal subspecies have red irises.
The structure of the rostrum starts in the skull and is asymmetric. The concentrical soft feathers capture the soundwaves and lead them to the orifices of the ear canal. The ruffle of tiny mouses between autumnal grasses is enough to locate them with pinpoint precision. The same fine feather structure on the upper side of the relatively broad wings guarantees a stealthy flight.

A rather unusual look at a Damselfly. This is a teneral Common Blue Damselfly I found at Wollaton yesterday, being quite a cool day there were a lot of grounded inactive Damselflies on low vegetation, this allowed for this interesting angle. This nicely illustrates the complex nature of a Damselflies mouthparts, it is easy to forget that these guys are accomplished predators.
This was a 4 image stack at F/8, not my deepest of stacks, but thought it was interesting to see.
