Imagine a world bathed in twilight, where shadows dance and the familiar hues soften into ethereal shades. In this hushed ambiance, a vibrant splash of color emerges – a Red Admiral butterfly, its wings unfurled like a banner of courage. Its velvety black canvas is adorned with bold strokes of crimson and ivory, a masterpiece painted by nature itself. The butterfly is locked in a delicate embrace with a cluster of pristine white flowers, their petals whispering secrets to the wind. The contrast between the butterfly's fiery hues and the flower's ethereal purity is a breathtaking spectacle. Yet, there's an undercurrent of fragility, a sense of time suspended in this fleeting moment. As the sun begins its return, casting elongated shadows that distort reality, the butterfly remains steadfast, a beacon of life amidst the cosmic drama. It's a testament to the enduring spirit of nature, a reminder that even in the face of celestial change, beauty and resilience prevail.

 

During the solar eclipse, this scene takes on an even more dramatic and ethereal quality. The dimming light casts an otherworldly glow on the landscape, highlighting the butterfly's vibrant colors and the delicate beauty of the flowers. The eclipse creates a sense of awe and wonder, as if nature itself is holding its breath in anticipation of the celestial spectacle.

 

The Red Admiral butterfly, with its wings outstretched like a dancer, becomes a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of this extraordinary event. Its presence reminds us that even in the midst of darkness and change, life continues to flourish and adapt. It's a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, and that even in the face of adversity, there is always something to celebrate.

 

The Korean Spice Viburnum, with its fragrant white flowers, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to this already stunning scene. Its presence evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting us to pause and appreciate the delicate intricacies of nature. It's a reminder that even the smallest details can contribute to the overall beauty of a scene, and that even in the midst of the most dramatic events, there is always something to be grateful for.

 

The butterfly, facing the eclipse, seems to share in the wonder and awe of this celestial spectacle. Its wings outstretched, it appears to be watching the event with us, as if it too is captivated by the beauty and mystery of the cosmos. This shared experience creates a sense of connection and unity, reminding us that we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.

Ischnopterapion virens ist weit verbreitet und fast überall häufig. Die Käfer kommen ab etwa April aus ihren Winterquartieren und fressen an den Blättern verschiedener Kleearten. Sie paaren sich auf den Wirtspflanzen und die Weibchen legen in den Stängeln des Klees Eikammern, die nach der Eiablage mit Sekret verschlossen werden. Die Larven fressen in den Stängeln von oben nach unten und verpuppen sich schließlich im unteren Stängelteil. Die neue Generation schlüpft meist ab Juli, frisst eine Weile, legt dann eine Diapause ein und frisst wieder ab etwa September. Im Herbst kommt es schon zu den ersten Paarungen.

Beware it has unique ability to eat an #insect twice its size and the female gobbles up male after #mating. 😨😰😱

BLENDING IN (the down low) - Composition Thursday

 

© Erik McGregor - erikrivas@hotmail.com - 917-225-8963

Voici le membracide bison (Stictophelia bisonia), minuscule créature qui semble sortie d’un songe. Perché sur une feuille, il arbore une étrange bosse, comme un petit casque façonné par la nature. Ce n’est pas une corne, mais le prolongement de son pronotum, détourné au fil de l’évolution en forme insolite et poétique.

 

✨ Certains membracides se fondent dans les feuilles, d’autres imitent des épines… et celui-ci ressemble à un minuscule buffle végétal 🌱. Ce camouflage n’est pas qu’esthétique : il brouille la silhouette de l’insecte pour tromper les prédateurs, et pourrait même jouer un rôle dans leur communication vibratoire 📡, ces signaux secrets transmis à travers les tiges.

 

🐜🍯 En se nourrissant de sève, le membracide sécrète du miellat, véritable friandise pour les fourmis. Celles-ci deviennent alors ses gardiennes, prêtes à défendre ce petit “bison” en échange de sa précieuse production.

 

🌍 Originaire d’Amérique du Nord, il s’est installé en Europe au XXe siècle et se cache aujourd’hui dans nos prairies. À l’œil nu, on le remarquerait à peine, mais en macro, sa silhouette improbable révèle l’incroyable créativité de l’évolution.

We are having a really good season with these guys. This girl hatched this morning. After seeing her sitting on the vines seed pods in the sun i couldn't help my self but to get the camera.

She was pretty freshly hatch as her wing are still wet and crinkly at the ends.

 

Please Share. :)

 

Cairns Birdwing. Ornithoptera euphorion

 

Both sexes support their weight when feeding at flowers by rapidly fluttering their wings. Males occasionally compete for flowers with other nectarivores, such as small birds, and usually succeed at driving them off by aggressively flying towards them.

They have a rather short life span as a butterfly only lasting four to five weeks.

Australia's largest endemic butterfly species. The wingspan can be up to 15 cm (5.9 in) in females, and 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in males.

There was a spectacular and rare genetic mutation of this butterfly, where single aberrant female produced less than 40 aberrant progeny. The females were pale instead of dark, and the males were golden instead of green.

Die Gallmücken sind eine Familie der Mücken. Sie kommen weltweit mit ca. 6000 Arten in mehr als 530 Gattungen vor. In Europa sind über 270 Gattungen zu finden.

Schwarzroter Glücksbringer

Der Siebenpunkt-Marienkäfer im Porträt

Die Zahl Sieben, in diesem Fall die Anzahl schwarzer Punkte auf den roten Flügeldecken des Käfers, galt schon seit je her als Glückszahl und mystische Zahl, vereint sie doch in sich die irdische Vier (vier Elemente) und die göttliche Dreizahl.

Das Landkärtchen oder der Landkärtchenfalter, auch Netzfalter oder Gitterfalter genannt, ist ein Schmetterling aus der Familie der Edelfalter. Der Artenname leitet sich von Levana, einer Gottheit aus der römischen Mythologie ab.
