Got a new camera as an anniversary gift, so doing a mass upload of existing photos from the old camera. Apologies for the flood!
Mr. Bluebird brings home a big tasty beetle. It's amazing to watch them snarf down a whole beetle in one gulp, and you can watch it go down because it produces a large lump that slowly moves down the bird's breast. Thanks again for taking a look. I do appreciate your visits.
Yet another one from the archives, I got quite excited yesterday when I came across two snails mating, ah ha I thought, finally I find a new one for Hump Day - Silly me, even I know snails aren't insects, so they will be saved for another day! HIHD
I spotted this blister beetle scurrying along in the Mojave Desert. I put my finger in front of it, and when it bumped into it, the beetle stopped and assumed this defensive posture - head down, butt up, wing covers open. These beetles have a toxin called cantharidin in their blood, which they can intentionally leak from their joints if bothered. Duly warned, I took a few quick photos and let it go on its way.
I believe in organic gardening, so I don't spray my flowers. I smushed the bug between my fingers instead.

Rosemary Beetle
This is a macro photograph of a very small little beetle I spotted today in my garden.
These beetles are very colourful and iridescent they do eat the lavender and Rosemary plants, I love nature so I like them as much as the plants!

Located at the Canyon Farm Yard Lodge. It is a very nice spot on the way to the Fish River canyon where you cross the railways. There is a few car wrecks and the owners are very friendly.
Taken lying on my belly grass high. I was just watching these beetle fly from place to place looking for food.
This Chafer Beetle is eating pollen on a Buttercup flower. I managed to get five frames before the critter realized I was close and stopped feeding.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2.5x) + 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. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order. I was holding on to the flower's stem with my left hand, and then resting the lens on that same hand to help keep the scene steady.
Trichiotinus affins

Found this golden beauty at work (Early Childhood Centre). We call them Christmas Beetles because that's when they usually appear.

A beautiful beetle feeding on an unknown plant.
We were on a trip collecting Calandrina for studies and didn't have much time to stop.
Here we were not far from Sandstone.

Melobasis regalis
This fine little creature appeared suddenly, full of cobwebs when I was clearing behind the dustbin. I positioned her on a stone and watched her clean off the strands before making herself scarce.
