The Peacock butterfly is beautiful species with spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. Many of them were seen in late August before their hibernation after summer. The majority emerge from hibernation at the end of March and beginning of April.
Vineyards in winter. Low depth of field, two filters (effective ND12 on the top half of the frame), and exposing for highlights.
This image is a 15 image in-camera focus stack of a hibernating Queen wasp I found whilst having a clear out in my garage,
Photographed and put back where she was.
Thanks for visiting my Flickr page. Happy to receive feedback / comments.
This moth is named after its colouration; males are usually foxy-red/brown and females grey-brown. However, moths from cooler upland areas tend to be darker and less red than those from southern areas. Females are larger with considerably longer forewings and lack the feathered antennae of the males. This moth can be distinguished from similar species by the absence of a central white spot on the forewing. The male flies rapidly on sunny afternoons just above the ground searching for females which are nocturnal.
The large, hairy larvae can be seen from July to April on heathland, downland and coastal grassland. Fully grown caterpillars are up to 7cm in length. They have long brown hairs on the sides of the body and shorter dark orange hairs on the upper surface. Young caterpillars are darker brown with light orange bands along the body. The caterpillars hibernate fully grown, but emerge to bask in the spring sunshine before pupating in April.
Caterpillar Food Plants;
Heathers, Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) and Creeping Willow (Salix repens) on moors and heaths, Bramble (Rubus fruiticosus) and Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) in wet habitats and Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba minor) on downland.
Habitat
Frequents a variety of grassland habitats including moorland, downland, damp meadows, sand dunes and open woodland.
found in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and
widely distributed throughout most of the British Isles except Orkney and Shetland.
I found this guy under a bit of wood today, completely motionless and not doing a lot at all. So following the old adage "If it don't move, stack it", I decided to try a focus stack, this is a 13 image handheld focus stack using an F/6.3 aperture.
I've no idea what species of Weevil this one is, if anyone recognises it please let me know :o) It eventually did wake up a bit and started moving its legs and antennae, at that point I decided to turn the wood back over and let it get back to sleep :o)
Been trying to do stuff on Flickr all evening, it is being really slow and unresponsive with hiccups all over the shop, really annoying :o(
Thanks to Rockwolf for ID Strophosoma melanogrammus being a likely suspect, thanks Maria :o)
Hope everyone has a great weekend :o)

This image was taken by a drone in winter. In a bird view this group of residentials looked like a dragon in hibernation. Do you see it's eye?
