Lagria hirta

Nikon D500 Sigma 105mm

Lagria hirta is a species of beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The species name hirta comes from the Latin hirtus meaning rough hair or rough wool, referring to the coarse, fuzzy appearance of the beetle.

As an ambassador of sea fruits, the algae carry a special message: Bring the elegance of the deep ocean to the landlovers! This one took his task particularly serious. It bowed and scraped before me bathing in sunlight, spinned and twisted. Yes, it downright played with the camera. Of course I cheered it on like "Come on Baby, show me what you got! Bend a little further, don't be ashamed of your curves. Halt, holy, way too laszivious, this isn't that kind of shooting!"

Oh boy, you have to be really careful with these crazy rascals!

I stacked 11 pictures for the foreground mostly for practice, less pictures should have been sufficient though.

Als Botschafter der Meeresfrüchte tragen die Rotalgen eine besondere Botschaft mit sich: Zeigt den Landratten die Eleganz der Tiefsee! Dieses Exemplar nahm seine Aufgabe ganz besonders ernst. Es scharwenzelte vor mir im Sonnenschein badend herum, drehte und wand sich. Ja, es spielte regelrecht mit der Kamera. Natürlich feuerte ich es an, rief etwa "Komm schon Baby, zeig mir, was du kannst! Beug dich noch etwas weiter, schäm dich nicht für deine Kurven. Stopp, holy, viel zu lasziv, das ist nicht so ein Shooting!"

Junge, Junge, da muss man ganz schön aufpassen bei diesen verrückten Früchtchen!

Für den Vordergrund habe ich 11 Bilder gestackt. Hauptsächlich zu Übungszwecken, weniger hätten es sicherlich auch getan.

I'm in a macro mood today. For the Scottish DIAL group.

Not long after the explosion of voices in my head, I now find myself stumbling in and out of strange visions. A glance toward the tree flings me deep into its flowers. The dizzyness sends my stomach swirling. This pungent sweet aroma is not making it any better. While I always found flowers beautiful, I never experienced the feeling of being a flower. I feel myself being tossed around by what must be a Summer breeze, but I cannot move. How long has this been? How do I get out? The fear begins to wrench at me as my stomach swirls into a knot. I suppose the only place left to go, is further within.

Hey there flickr-friends,

enjoying your weekend?

As so often I recently spent my Friday evening in a forest, but the typical macro-mood didn't want to surface. I wandered aimlessly around, found hardly any models and was about to give up. Of course I didn't give in to the gloom and explored further, as I suddenly found a big beetle (burying beetle) on a fern. He was completely covered in mites and I thought his number was up. He barely moved and I tried to cheer him up snapping pictures: "Oh well, those beasts are everywhere. Snap. You're done... Snap. Fortunately I hold the key to immortality in my hands. Snap. Holy shit (snap, snap, snap), now the beasts crawl about your eyes with their dirty feet. I can't remove these masses. Snap. Hold on tight!"

It went on a while like this, until the beetle started to stir and I encouraged him more heartening than before. Obviously I aroused his defiance! Unexpectedly all the mites gathered beautifully behaving on the beetle's back, he looked at me one last time and simply flew away. "Wow!", I though proudly. "I'm a darn saint!"

Back at home I read that the mites didn't feast on the beetle, but they all rather lived symbiotic. When burying beetles find carcasses and pitch into the carrion, the mites take care of the flies' eggs, which get pumped into the carcasses inevitably. Thus the mites get fed, while the beetles can tug a cleaned carcass underground, where the females lay their eggs and live together with their offspring off the prey. What a thoughtful cycle!

Hallo flickr-Freunde,

genießt ihr das Wochenende?

Als ich neulich wie so oft in letzter Zeit meinen Freitagabend im Wald verbracht habe, wollte sich einfach keine rechte Makrostimmung einstellen. Ich wanderte ziellos umher, fand wenige Models und wollte langsam aufgeben. Aber natürlich gab ich mich nicht dem Trübsal hin und erkundete weiter, bis ich plötzlich diesen großen Käfer (Totengräber) auf einem Farn fand. Er war über und über mit Milben bedeckt und ich dachte, sein letztes Stündlein hätte geschlagen. Er bewegte nicht kaum und ich versuchte ihn knipsend aufzumuntern: "Oh weh, die Biester sind überall. Knips. Du bist am Ende.... Knips. Glücklicherweise habe ich hier jedoch den Schlüssel zur Unsterblichkeit. Knips. Heilige Scheiße (knips, knips, knips), jetzt krabbeln sie mit ihren dreckigen Füßchen auch auf deinen Augen herum. Die Masse kriege ich niemals runter. Knips. Halt durch!"

So ging es eine Weile, bis erneut Regung in den Käfer kam und ich ihn ermutigender als vorher anfeurte. Scheinbar hatte ich seinen Trotz geweckt! Unvermutet versammlten sich alle Milben artig auf des Käfers Rücken, er sah mich ein letztes Mal an und flog einfach davon. "Wow!", dachte ich stolz. "Ich bin ein verdammter Heiliger!"

Zu Hause las ich dann, dass die Milben den Käfer gar nicht auffraßen, sondern alle in einer Symbiose leben. Wenn Totengräber tote Tiere finden und sich über das Aas hermachen, kümmern sich die Milben um Fliegeneier, die unweigerlich in den Kadaver gepumpt werden. So werden die Milben satt und die Totengräber können einen gereinigten Kadaver unter die Erde zerren, wo ein Weibchen Eier legt und sich sowie ihren Nachwuchs von der Beute ernährt. Was für ein durchdachter Kreislauf!

Had my 1st play with the D850's Focus Shift mode with the macro lens.

This was 100 images taken on a tripod then stacked with Helicon Focal software. New to both so today was a bit of an experiment.

The image quality is stunning (you cant see that on FB)

Macro shot, just a quick monochrome conversion to give the image a tonal contrast to make the shot stand out.

The Cassidinae (tortoise and leaf-mining beetles) are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles.

Still in a macro mood... ^.^

Please View Large On Black ^.^

I have been in a macro mood lately, so here is another butterfly. This is one of those, "is it worth it shots". These guys flit around a dirt road of a preserve I go to and are very hard to get close too. They seem to prefer the minerals found on the road rather than taking flower nectar. This one landed not to far from me. I knew I couldn't move much and the only way to get a nice low POV was to lie on my belly in a mud puddle. I decided with how hard these guys are to get it was worth it and I got my shot. If I missed it though, I wouldn't have been happy at all though (lol). ;^) My photography day was over after this shot though and I went home to change my clothes.

I hope everyone enjoys this image! :^)

The scientific name of this species is: Limenitis arthemis.

I think Patience is one of the key elements in photography. You will get your desired shot sooner or later. Wildlife photographers are master in this.

For these shots had to try for three days. But I think it worth it. These ants were thirsty. And these are plain water. But You can use sugar water.

Taken from my roof. So I haven't had to travel anywhere for this.

Had a lot of time to observe. And I could focus only on the shot. This is the beauty of macro photography. You don't need to go far. Your subjects are around you may be they are on the roof of your house or at the backyard or maybe inside your head. Yes you could make your own interesting subjects and photograph them in your bedroom, kitchen or bathroom and they could be world class. Many world class macro photographs are taken this way. For example don komarechka takes most of his extraordinary droplet photos from his kitchen. So we shouldn't let immobility our limitation. We could always find something everywhere
