Taken at the edge of Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire, I noticed the wonderful reaching branches of this tree leaning out over the road.
Speckled bush cricket (a young larva) after a walk through the flower of a evening primrose. Then she cleaned the feelers of the pollen. These are pulled several times with the help of the forefoot through the "mouth".
Punktierte Zartschrecke (eine junge Larve) nach einer Wanderung durch die Blüte einer Nachtkerze. Danach hat sie die Fühler vom Blütenstaub gereinigt. Dabei werden diese mehrfach mit Hilfe der Vorderfüße durch den "Mund" gezogen.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

The common evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is one of the naturalized neophytes in Central Europe, since it was introduced as an ornamental plant from North America to Europe around 1620. It is now so widespread in Europe that most people perceive it as a native species. / Wikipedia

Die Gemeine Nachtkerze (Oenothera biennis) zählt in Mitteleuropa zu den eingebürgerten Neophyten, da sie um 1620 als Zierpflanze von Nordamerika nach Europa eingeführt wurde. Mittlerweile ist sie in Europa so weiträumig verbreitet, dass sie von den meisten Menschen als einheimische Art wahrgenommen wird. / Wikipedia

Neighbours do like to spy on each other, don't they? The one on the left is doing something strange with his feelers. A minute later, he almost had a handlebar moustache before putting them back to normal :)
These bugs are about 1/4" long.
Dedicated to the feelers...
To the ones who live in the quiet spaces,
feeling more than they ever speak.
This is for you, the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves,
Who feel every unspoken word, every shift in energy,
every crack in the universe.
For the ones who are moved by the things most people overlook,
Who see beauty in the smallest details,
and who carry both the light and the weight of the world in their hearts.
This is for the ones who sometimes feel like their heart is too big for their body,
Who cry when they're happy, who ache when they see someone else hurting,
Who feel the pulse of the world in every quiet moment.
You're not "too much"...... You're exactly enough.
There is a big difference in what we long for,
what we settle for,
and what we are meant for......
Know the difference
Going to have a David Brent moment here but I feel damn proud of myself, cleaned the sensor on my camera of dust particles WITHOUT professional help! I know, I know, next I'll take a bow!
Now we got that out of the way, yes I am adding to my Ants collection with this little guy investigating a tiny stone that appeared by the entrance to their nest, the reason I explain that is because I want to achieve what I did with the Spiders, I want to get into their world, their behaviour and habits, at least as far as I can see above ground.
Into this week and I hope everyone is doing well all things considered and so as always, thank you!
PS: I know I need to increase my Aperture to further create a longer depth of field!
Es ist nicht zu glauben, wie schwer ein kleiner Grashüpfer zu fotografieren ist. Wenn man durch das Gras geht, dann springen sie schon von Grashalm zu Grashalm. Dieser Grashüpfer gehört zu der kleinen Gattung der Grashüpfer. In Anbetracht der sehr grossen Zahl von Grashüpfern und Heuschrecken kann ich nicht sagen, um welche Art es sich hier handelt. Das kleine Tier war nur ca. 2 cm lang und hatte kurze Fühler.
It is unbelievable how difficult it is to photograph a small grasshopper. When you walk through the grass, they jump from blade of grass to blade of grass. This grasshopper belongs to the small genus of grasshoppers. In view of the very large number of grasshoppers and grasshoppers, I can not say what kind this is. The small animal was only about 2 cm long and had short feelers.

This tiny pink flower was from a plant we bought on our recent visit to the garden centre, it's a Guara. It wasn't in bloom when we bought it so I didn't realise quite how tiny the flowers would be.

This huge clematis flower is in my garden and I really had to resist the temptation to pick it to make it easier to get a photo.
It's another one with the Lensbaby, I'm still not sure I am grasping the focus but I quite liked it anyway. I added a texture (my own) for a bit of added interest in the background.
From a capture of a large Mantis that visited with me for 3 days. I adore and revere Mantis and they seem to like me back:-) In summertime, very often they will come keep me company by my pc, and often staying for days. Sometimes one will fly up to me and rest on my arm or back or chest. The cutest is to see them groom their feelers, too precious:-)
This past August as I was sitting outside enjoying the sun shiny day I had a beautiful butterfly dance on me. He was so content to be out and about without a care in the world, kind of how I felt on this day!

I know that the cracks in this asphalt appeared before the plants poked their green stems up to the sunlight. However, I do appreciate how small plants will appear through concrete sidewalks and asphalt. The roots of the plant will take advantage of existing microscopic cracks. New cell growth takes place at the tips of plant roots. As the root system grows and develops, these tips act as feelers, seeking out the path of least resistance for expansion.
Two Bourletiella hortensis (females) eating a dead springtail. There was a short fierce battle for this by hitting the feelers on one another. Finally the right springtail was the victor and could eat quietly...
Opitter
Also called the malachite butterfly, after the green mineral malachite. The wings are black with bright green spots on the top and reddish brown with olive green spots on the bottom. The wingspan is about 8 to 10 centimeters. The butterfly occurs in the Neotropics, from Florida and South Texas to Brazil. There the species is quite common. The malachite butterfly lives on flower nectar and rotting fruit. They also drink juices from manure and dead animals. The caterpillars are black with red spots, have spines over their bodies and horns on their heads.

Artwork: Voelers/ Feelers (2021),
birch wood, 81x50x30cm
Artist: Thijs Kwakernaat
The photo above is a diptych of the same sculpture, seen from two sides.
Location: "Het Depot" Sculpture Gallery, Wageningen, The Netherlands
See more of his work on his website: www.thijskwakernaak.nl/beelden
~~~The constant in the work of Thijs Kwakernaak is working in wood and making figurative sculptures in which people are at the center.
Hands play a role in a lot of his work. “Hands are the tactile sense. I like to touch wood. Hands also represent doing: your eyes see something that your hands can then make.”
The environment in which Thijs Kwakernaak works influences his images. From his studio he looks out over the floodplains of the IJssel. Nature is present in this environment, nature to which Kwakernaak feels very connected. “You hear all kinds of sounds and there is nothing more healing than listening to the sounds of nature, the sound of ducks, birds crossing and spotting the kingfisher. I feel very connected to nature and also to a natural material like wood. I experience an intimacy when working in wood, a connection without words that I do not always experience with people. When a sculpture is finished, it must, as it were, want to come to me, as if some kind of being has emerged that I want to get to know.”~~~
The cockshafer Loved and hated: this big beetle is the star in many fairy tales and stories but is nevertheless fought hard from time to time. Underground life When the fully developed may beetle crawls out of the earth in the spring and flies away, it has been on it for most of its life.
This beetle spent three to four years underground in the larva stage.
The adult insect lives only four to six weeks. May beetle year This life cycle follows one with many beetles, the so-called beetle year, on three 'beetle-poor' years. Unfortunately, the little beetle is no longer as well represented here as in grandmother's times, when huge swarms occupied our fields, forests and meadows. The small difference In our regions there are 3 species of may beetles: the common may beetle, the sand chick beetle and the rare Melolontha pectoralis. You can tell the insects apart by their differently shaped and colored abdomens. Males and females can also be distinguished in this way.
Antenna Another way to distinguish may beetle males and females are the antennae. Those of the males are considerably larger and have 7 'leaves' per antenna, those of the females have 7. The antennae are equipped with smell sensors and thus form the nose of the beetle, as it were.
The male cockchafer seeks out the females. For this he uses the lamellae (leaves) on his antennae as an organ of smell. The smallest concentrations of odor can be detected with these slats. The females secrete pheromones (odorous substances), which are smelled by the males. When a male has found a female, they mate. During mating, the ends of the abdomen are connected. The male drops onto his back and is then dragged along by the female for a while. Beetles do not sit on top of each other unlike other insects. After mating, the female flies to the open field. There she burrows a few centimeters deep into the ground. She deposits about 20 eggs in the soil with the tip of her abdomen. The eggs are small (diam. 2-3 mm), oval-shaped and off-white in colour.
The cockchafer is a medium-sized beetle 2-3 cm, with reddish brown elytra and legs. He has a black body with a striking triangle pattern on both sides. The cockchafer has red-brown feelers. The thickening on the end of the feelers can fan out into lamellae (blades). The May beetle therefore belongs to the family of the leaf blade beetles. Engerling is a name for the larva of the May beetle. These are known because they feed on plant roots, especially grasses.
