I am fascinated by the interior design system of such eyes.The intricate pattern looks complex and advanced than our normal vision.

I think being scavengers,this particular family has this peculiar eye structure.

I dubbed this as their own RGB processing eye.

Red Lily Beetle - very pretty but very destructive. Can kill Lily plants by eating all the leaves and flowers. This insect was only recently introduced to the UK back in the 1920s and in the last 15 years it has become a serious problem.

Mailbox lives in my mailbox. I have evicted her 3x and like a bad habit she keeps moving back in, so I decided to give up and let her stay. She moves to one side when I get the mail, so as long as I don't have to fuss with her too much no big deal.

Nikon d5000

60mm f2.8 Macro lens

Off camera speed flash. Used the flash on a tripod and flashed it to the other side of the mailbox so that it bounced back over her.

I fell in love with my macrolens and therefore insectshots. Tired of chasing them around, i got flowers on my balkony now. Works well :D

Mariposa Loba. Nombre cientifico: Maniola jurtina es un lepidóptero perteneciente a la familia Nymphalidae. Es una mariposa diurna y este año estoy observando que con tantísima lluvia, flores y plantas se ha reproducido en abundancia ☺??. En cada jornada de senderismo fotográfico estoy teniendo la oportunidad de fotografiar a esta bonita especie. Ya iré subiendo algunas fotos porque este año se puede hacer un buen reportaje de ella.

A striking macro image of a yellow and black paper wasp perched on a dry, veined leaf on the forest floor. The vibrant contrast between the wasp’s warning coloration and the earthy tones of the leaf enhances the natural tension of this scene.

A macro side profile of a young dragonfly freshly emerged from its aquatic larval stage. The delicate wings and segmented abdomen are prominently displayed, revealing the fine textures and natural translucence of this agile flyer.
