A Little of Everything - _TNY_7281
When bug season begins in spring, you're excited about every single little life that dares to crawl out of hibernation. A simple fly can be really exciting.
Then as spring progresses and turn into summer, there is more and more to shoot and at one point you become blasé with stuff you would have killed to find three months earlier!
This is of course perfectly understandable, but still something my family tease me about when we are out in places which are buzzing with life.
This particular shot of a thistle in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park, just south of Stockholm, Sweden, is pretty packed with life.
Up top is a ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) with quite worn and damaged wings and below it is a green rose chafer (Cetonia aurata) with quite a lot of gold mixed in with the metallic green.
Then top right there is some sort of drone fly (Eristalis sp.) and bottom left has a fly which is so far out of focus that I can't figure out what it is better than just a fly.
