Das Taubenschwänzchen, auch Taubenschwanz oder Karpfenschwanz genannt, ist ein Schmetterling aus der Familie der Schwärmer.

205_365 Grasshopper. I think if this little guy would have been wearing a top hat, he would have tipped it to me. He was definitely waving at me. Made me smile. It even looks like he's smiling back at me doesn't it.

Aredolpona succedanea

I think the meaning of the word "life line" is different from this picture, but it is just I wan to use this word.

Jardin des plantes - Paris

A beetle after the rain.

photos prises sur la commune de Toulouse , comme quoi la nature est à nos portes quand on ne goudronne pas tout

These were absolutely tiny I have no idea what they are though! Happy in the garden on top of the moth box - which I hasten to add has attracted many things but not a single moth lol! Not that I'm complaining ;0) HIHD/HWW

Syrphidae sp.

This ones a Ischnura from the Coenagrionidae family.

Not sure about the exact species though. Could be any one of these 3 - Ischnura aurora / Ischnura senegalensis /Ischnura forcipata

But good luck for this tiny spider which was enjoying its lunch as I approached with my camera.

Spotted this ladybird exercising on a Veronica plant in our garden.

I think the swamp is beautiful close up and this is the season for butterflies. The only problem was, I had on the 400mm lens which is not the best butterfly lens.

It is hard to believe that a tiny Crab Spider has the speed and power (poison bite) to subdue a Honey Bee. I have seen it a few times before. This time the bee was taking Hummingbird nectar and the spider managed to get up to the feeder.
