Not sure which species exactly as I think they vary in colour but I know these as Turkeytails, often growing in rotten wood stumps.
Imagen capturada en Zaragoza durante una manifestación convocada por la Asociación de Vecinos Jerónima Zaporta del barrio rural de La Cartuja Baja para protestar por la acumulación en el mismo de una parte no desdeñable de los residuos "ajenos" generados por Zaragoza, y en algunos casos de todo Aragón: el vertedero de basuras, las tierras contaminadas extraídas de la clausurada fábrica Tudor, la nueva macroplanta depuradora de aguas residuales de la ciudad, y un nuevo vertedero para acoger a los residuos peligrosos procedentes de todo Aragón en el Acampo Castillo, entre La Cartuja Baja y Torrecilla de Valmadrid, gestionado por la empresa Omicron S.A.-Euroresiduos S.A. y más adelante vendido a FCC.
Esta manifestación, que en la imagen posiblemente transita por el paseo de la Independencia, llegó hasta la puerta del Ayuntamiento, donde simbólicamente se depositaron unas bolsas de basura.

Time lapse created from 194 images taken at 12 second intervals and converted to mp4 using Macroplant's free Adapter software. Each photo was a 2 second exposure at f/4.0 (ISO 400) using an Olympus E-M1 and Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 PRO lens. Sequence started at 03.11 BST in Leicestershire, UK; the fourteen second sequence represents 49 minutes of actual time.

At this time of the year, it is not uncommon in the hours of darkness to find a selection of scarab beetles that have been drawn to an outside light. It is tempting to refer to them all as "Christmas Beetles", but this is not strictly true. There are 36 "true" (Australian) Christmas Beetles (i.e., Anoplognathus species), but looking at the broader picture, there are more than 30,000 Scarab Beetle species (i.e., species belonging to the Scarabaeidae family), with more than 2,000 known in Australia. Many of these scarab beetles are quite common in Australia - way too many for me to attempt to identify this example. I will rest by calling it a Scarab Beetle, and can eliminate the Australian Christmas Beetles from the possibilities.
Some interesting bits and pieces ...
- Members of the Coleoptera Order have a hardened forewing.
- Dung, Rhinoceros, and Elephant Beetles are Scarab Beetles.
- The beetle featured here has a black head, distinct darker brown markings on the wing covers (elytras) that are folded up over the abdomen and on the thorax.
- It has small maxillary palps flanked by larger antennae.

Photography notes ...
The photograph was taken using the following hardware ...
- iPhone 7 Plus.
- Kamerar (Ztylus) macro lens.
- Gizmon TLR Bluetooth Remote Shutter.
- Gray Card made by ProCamera.
I acquired the photograph (4032 x 3024 pixels) with an ISO of 20, exposure time of 1/1100 seconds, and an aperture of f/1.8. The iPhone flash was used.
Post-processing ...
- I downloaded the photographs from my iPhone 7 Plus to the MacBook Air 11" using a lightning/USB cable and the iExplorer app (Macroplant).
- Sometimes I do this over WiFi using PhotoSync (touchbyte GmbH). Notably, I have found that iExplorer does not handle properly the images that have been edited using the native Apple iPhone "Photos" app (i.e., it will only transfer the original image, not the edited image).
- I viewed and sorted the photographs that were taken using XnViewMP (Pierre-e-Gougelet) and Lightroom (Adobe Systems Incorporated).
Lightroom - Rotated the image by 90 degrees CCW.
Pixelmator - Used the Repair Tool to remove some distracting elements from the background.
Aurora HDR 2017 - Made various lighting and color adjustments to the image.
Aurora HDR 2017 - Cropped the image to 1:1 aspect ratio (i.e., square format) (2655 x 2655 pixels).
Aurora HDR 2017 - Exported the image to JPEG format with maximum quality.
PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for any final processing, review, enjoyment, and posting to social media.
Exif Editor - Copied the EXIF data from the original downloaded image to the final image.
(N.B., A second image was prepared for posting by cropping in closer to the head region ...]
Snapseed - Cropped the image to 4:3 aspect ratio (1218 x 913 pixels).
Snapseed - Output the image to JPEG format with maximum quality.
Exif Editor - Copied the EXIF data from the original downloaded image to the final image.
