Translucent deep blue-green two-handled glass jar, filled with cremated remains.

In the 1st century CE., glass vessels became a popular choice for use as cinerary urns, as they were far less expensive than sculpted marble vessels. Many have been found still containing cremated remains, as was this jar, which is said to be from Augustoritum in Gaul (modern Limoges, France).

This adorable rabbit was enjoying a salad of clover in my yard. When the sun broke through the clouds, the complex network of veins in the rabbit's long ears seemed to glow.

White peacock butterfly's wings are almost transparent when they catch the sunlight.

Sawfly larvae (Symphyta p.) can quite easily be distinguished from butterfly catepillars by looking at the head. Sawflies have a distinct neck like this one while caterpillars have the head more integrated in the body.

I haven't managed to figure out the exact species of this one (there are 824 species in Sweden), but I kind of like the translucent body of it. I found in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park in mid-June.

Branches, sheer translucent leaves—

You would die to get under them forever, if it were given you,

The park, on this, a day like any other day,

And not the knowledge of everyone ever met

Who will come upon you, sooner or later,

If only you stay here.
