Now that's a look! Did you know that flies can perceive movement six times faster than humans? This allows them to instantly react to danger and avoid predators. Thanks to these unique abilities, flies are some of the quickest insects around

These Allium Siculums are beginning to unfurl in my garden. They need a thin garden cane to help support them at this stage.

Nectaroscordum (Allium).

Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

Die Südliche Binsenjungfer (Lestes barbarus) ist eine schlanke Libelle mit einer Länge von 40–45 mm und durchsichtigen Flügeln. Ihr Körper schimmert metallisch grün oder kupferfarben, und sie hat breite, helle Streifen. Auffällig ist ihr zweifarbiges Flügelmal, das innen hellbraun und außen weißlich ist. Sie lebt an kleinen, sonnigen Gewässern mit viel Pflanzen und fliegt von Juni bis September. Die Eier überwintern, und die Larven entwickeln sich in 2–3 Monaten zur Libelle.

The Southern Emerald Damselfly (Lestes barbarus) is a slender damselfly, 40–45 mm long, with transparent wings. Its body shines metallic green or copper, with broad, light stripes. A distinctive feature is its bicolored wing spot, brown on the inside and whitish on the outside. It lives near small, sunny water bodies with dense vegetation and is active from June to September. The eggs overwinter, and the larvae develop into damselflies within 2–3 months.

Macro capture of Turkeytail mushroom, lichen and moss on Garry oak tree branch in late February.

Garry oak ecosystems range from shady woodlands to open meadows with scattered trees which support many life forms including moss, lichens and fungi. Under the shelter of oak canopies or in meadows, spring wildflowers, grasses, mosses, and a variety of shrubs flourish.

A popular spot among local photographers.

Wide angle macro captured using a relay lens system (2.7mm M12 lens focuses the image onto a "virtual" plane which, in turn, is projected onto camera's sensor by a reversed 24mm).

Cobweb from a Bluebell.

Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is a woodland in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Strelley. It covers a total area of 15.11 hectares. It is owned and managed by The Woodland Trust.

I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.

Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.

How to tell the difference.

English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.

Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.

The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.

A macro capture of a single icicle melting, with a water droplet caught in midair. Crisp detail and soft background bokeh evoke a fleeting winter moment. I love the tiny spherical drop hanging at the bottom of the icicle

Dragonflies are among the oldest insects on Earth, and their eyes, composed of numerous ommatidia, allow them to see almost 360 degrees around them. This makes them some of the most skilled predators in aerial hunting.

In this photo: a member of the Agelenidae family of spiders sits in its web, lying in wait for its prey. ️ Attention to detail and patience are its main weapons in this art of hunting. 🌿

“Convergent Evolution”

Some insects are as big as small birds.

“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

Gracias por la visita y por dejar tus comentarios.

Thanks for the visit and leave your comments.

Pulsa L para verla más grande sobre negro.

Hit L to see big on black.

I love taking photos of rain droplets on little moss plants, or other tiny plants. You never know what the camera will reflect and magnify, and I do enjoy opening the pictures in the computer to see what's there. Often the detail has been so tiny, I've been unable to see it with my eyes.

Macro capture of a 'Geranium'.. 'Cranesbill'.. .. for you..

HFF..! Thanks for looking.. have a great weekend

What's not to like in this unusual coloured rose? There is one garden that has a lot of roses and many are very unusual colours. Taken in local garden July 9, 2017.

The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.
