Guess What This is?

 

I captured this image with a Raynox DCR250 on a Sigma 150mm Macro with my Nikon D610 DSLR. It was captured at about 1/1600 seconds, f/7.1, ISO 320 and would be probably more than 1:1 magnification. Curious if you can guess what it is from based on the wafer thin depth of field which is in focus?

I visited Thursley Common, one of my favorite locations to photograph lizards. There were plenty about including this baby lizard with its metallic green scales.

The Apple-green swallowtail or Green-banded swallowtail (Papilio phorcas) is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. It is found in Africa.

Easter Iris that made a pit stop in front of my lens before being delivered to it's Easter destination...

My sons and I managed to get out and take some pictures on Sat. evening before picking up dinner and bringing it back for the family. We just went to one of the local nurseries for some macro shots. It was fun to get out and take some pictures.

Si a Spiderman me hubiese picado esta araña hubiese sido capaz de saltar por encima de edificios, pero no de tejer sus famosas telas de araña, porque a pesar de que las usan en su día a día no lo hacen para cazar.

 

Si a Spiderman m’haguera picat aquesta aranya haguera sigut capaç de saltar per damunt d’edificis, però no de teixir les seues famoses teles d’aranya, perquè a pesar que les usen en el seu dia a dia no ho fan per a caçar.

 

If Spider-Man had been bitten by this spider, he would have been able to jump over buildings, but not to weave his famous spider webs, because even though they use them in their daily life, they don’t do it to hunt.

(Let's see who can decode that one! ;-) And Good luck!) ;-)

He de confesar que de pequeño me daban pavor las arañas… Me causaban mucho respeto. No obstante, con el tiempo, nos hemos hecho amigos. ¿Quién le negaría algo con esa carita?

 

He de confessar que de xicotet em donaven pànic les aranyes… Em causaven molt de respecte. No obstant això, amb el temps, ens hem fet amics. Qui li negaria alguna cosa amb eixa careta?

 

I must confess that as a child, spiders terrified me… They inspired a lot of respect in me. However, over time, we’ve become friends. Who could deny anything to that tiny face?

It is very stormy outside on this Good Friday.

 

I am staying inside and watching DVD at home.

 

Also playing with the glassware and get some still life in my kitchen.

 

Happy Easter!

Aquí tenéis a este individuo del género Cicindela que a simple vista parece un escarabajo verde pero, de cerca, fijaos qué mandíbulas! Su alimentación, tanto en estadío de larva como en adulto, se basa en otros insectos que cazan por los suelos y taludes arenosos que habitan…
