Macro photography of a few of the many forms of life thriving in a summer meadow

Liebe Hive Freunde, Ich war total überrascht, als ich heute dieses Insekt sah, während ich meine Tür von draußen öffnete. Das Insekt heißt Ameisenjungfer … und es erinnert mich an Libellen. Die erwachsenen

I took a quick picture of the caterpillar, I didn't have time for more pictures. I didn't even know what it was exactly. Work, obligations and only later did I sit down to investigate this little guy.It

Night fell, I went out onto the terrace and turned on the light. There was a loud thud. I thought one of the ripe apricots nearby had fallen. But the sound was heard closer to the wall of the house. It

I was pulling grass in the garden, that is, I was pulling out the leftover onions and weeding the garden. A red-black beetle caught my eye. The color itself warns that the beetle is "dangerous."

As I was heading out to work on Friday morning, in-between a call, this tiny insect on the wall caught my attention. I stopped to take a closer look. It has a rough-textured look, mottled brown wings and

As I promised 2-3 weeks ago, I managed to photograph a few more butterflies.As I said, I don't know much about butterflies, so if anyone has a volunteer to identify them, I'd be interested. I'm assuming

Is it important to repeat the story about bees and how important they are to our ecosystem, yes of course always and everywhere. But this friend of ours today is not a bee, but another excellent mimicry.It's

Excellent mimicry of this beetle, at first I thought it was a wasp and I approached it carefully. I am not allergic to stings or bugs but if I don't have to, I don't have to be stung.But when I got close

A couple of weeks ago, I went to my front yard garden to get some fresh curry leaves for my stew. While cutting the leaves, I noticed a movement on the growing mango tree beside it. I paused, and then

Each time I see butterflies flitting around, I wish I could capture them with my hands again. Back then, as kids, we'd catch the butterflies, tie a thread around the abdomen, hold them mid air as they
