Le Méloé violet est un coléoptère assez particulier. La photo représente un mâle. La femelle est immédiatement reconnaissable à son abdomen hypertrophié.
Le développement larvaire est également assez surprenant puisqu’il compte 6 stades, ce qui est beaucoup pour un coléoptère. Durant les premiers stades, la larve va parasiter ses cousins hyménoptères. Durant les 3e et 4e stades, elle ressemble à un hanneton qui se nourrit d’abord de miel, et qui devient ensuite carnivore ! Elle s’enfouit lors du 5e stade dans le sol pour se transformer en prénymphe, puis en nymphe au 6e stade pour donner enfin vie à la forme adulte uniformément bleu-violet.
North American violet green swallow, They fly like a bat out of hell and are very hard to catch them in your viewfinder
This violet-crowned hummingbird is getting suspicious about all the photographers at Beatty's Guest Ranch (Cochise County, AZ)
This a bird I would like to get better images of. I love the color of it's plumage but perched on a branch or a wire just doesn't do it for me.
A little picture of the two loves of the house.
Please say a prayer for my John. He is in the hospital with pneumonia and very sick.
There is no question about how this swallow got its name. The colors are very striking when the sun illuminates them. He is sitting on tufa at the edge of Mono Lake.
A tiny violet that flowers two times a year. It never produce a rich rapes of flowers as others.
Taken with Meyer Optik Görlitz Trioplan 50mm f2.9. Cloudy, almost rainy day does not do a justice to this lens.
We finally get some sunny weather and I forget completely about watching for blowing my highlights. Oh well I still like the image.
These stunning Male Violet tailed Sylphs were seen at Montezuma Lodge on the Western slopes of the Andes. They are near endemic, residing on slopes above 900m in Ecuador and Colombia. Typically this Male either landed too close, too far away or behind a branch. If he landed in the perfect spot you could guarantee that the Male Empress Brilliant chased it off. The photos don't seem to do him justice.

Some violet-toothed polypore growing on a decaying river birch log made for a colorful tableau in the floodplain forest of Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
My yard is filled with violets each spring. Passers-by often stop and take a cellphone photo. The rest of my gardens have suffered from neglect but the violets thrive.

Kwitną już fiołki! Jak ja lubię ten ich zapach... :)
They are blooming again! L love their smell :)
Viola odorata is a species of the genus Viola native to Europe and Asia, but has also been introduced to North America and Australasia. It is commonly known as Sweet Violet, English Violet, Common Violet, or Garden Violet.
The species can be found near the edges of forests or in clearings; it is also a common "uninvited guest" in shaded lawns or elsewhere in gardens. The flowers appear as early as February and last until the end of April.
Flowers and leaves of viola are made into a syrup used in alternative medicine mainly for respiratory ailments associated with congestion, coughing, and sore throat. Flowers are also edible and used as food additives for instance in salad, made into jelly, and candied for decoration. A decoction made from the root (dry herb) is used as a laxative. Tea made from the entire plant is used to treat digestive disorders and new research has detected the presence of a glycoside of salicylic acid (natural aspirin) which substantiates its use for centuries as a medicinal remedy for headache, body pains and as a sedative. As a bath additive the fresh crushed flowers are soothing to the skin and the aroma is very relaxing.
