Large pine weevil

I was waiting for the great spotted woodpecker to make his presence known, but suddenly the beetle was right next to me. I quickly changed the lens and missed the woodpecker for this pile shot

The spruce bark beetle (Hylobius abietis) grows up to 1.4 cm long and is mainly found in coniferous forests.

Fichtenrüsselkäfer

Eigentlich hab ich den Buntspecht aufgelauert, der sich bereits durch Laute bemerkbar machte, aber auf einmal war der Käfer neben mir. Schnell das Objektiv gewechselt und den Specht für dieses Stackfoto verpasst

Der Fichtenrüsselkäfer (Hylobius abietis) wird bis zu 1,4 cm lang und kommt vor allem in Nadelwäldern vor.

Cam: #lumixgx8

I prefer to have a species identification on the photographs I post, but this one is more of a PSA: take lots of pics and don't throw any away, because you never what angle an expert on iNaturalist or BugGuide might need to make the call. I *think* this might be Ceratina calcarata (a carpenter bee), but it turns out one of the diagnostic characters is a triangular swelling on the hind femur, something (of course) I didn't know at the time. A frame that I'd normally trash (right pic) shows it. #inaturalist #bugguide #bees #dandelion #taxonomy #insects #macrophotography

Small, dark, metallic-blue bee in the center of a compact, disk-shaped yellow inflorescence.

There are monsters around! With my luck re pests in my plant nursery this year (still fighting the fungus gnats infestation with SP nematodes, sea algae soaks, fans, UV "mosquito lamp" and lots and lots of sticky tape) this #CraneFly is most likely one of the #Tipulidae that are considered pests in Europe (is it Tipula paludosa?) as their larvae attack seedling roots and stems. Which is exactly what fungus gnat larvae were doing already so... [insert random profanities].

About photos, pardon the odd colours as this crane fly thought to rest under my full-spectrum LEDs on a chili plant and it's being illuminated by, well, all colours of the rainbow really.

A close-up shot of an alderfly standing on a thick green pruinous leaf. this insect is dark, with a robust black body and thick wings. The wings appear mostly transparent, but have big dark veins giving them a solid aspect. They are covering most of the body of this insect, like a roof over it.

A close-up shot of a couple of flies, standing on a rosebush leaf. They are apparently copulating, with a slightly smaller fly, a male, on top of a slightly bigger one, the female. The flies look simiar aside from size: wide yellos head with red eyes, round black shiny thorax, and beautiful wings with a complexe black pattern on them.

A close-up shot of a fluffy caterpillar sitting on a dried plant. You cannot really see much more than the fluff. It's seen from the side, with dense grey fur, but you can also see some orange and black fur on the top. It has longer hairs spiking here and there.

A light brown frog, sitting on the side of a pond on rock. Its legs are banded with slightly darker brow, and it has a nice dark mark starting from its eye, going down to the back of its head.

A close-up photo of a bee on my fingers. It's quite fluffy, almost entirely covered in light beige fur. It has slender legs with some blakc tuff of hair, and big eyes. It seems to be looking at the camera. In the background is a blurry green meadow.

A close-up shot of a beetle in a cavity in dead wood. Its standing with its head down. It has big black eyes and short antennae. Spiky white hair is covering a lot of its body. It has a particular color pattern: black head and butt, dark red elbows, and a white stripe in the back.

A close-up photo of a green lizard. Its jaw and mandible are light teal, reaching also on the sides of its head. You can see the light brown color of its iris, with its visible eye carefully looking at the camera. It is resting on the side of a stone wall, with dense grass behind it, covering the end of its tail already.

A close-up shot of a carpenter bee, standing on the ark of a dead tree stump.
It is a big, black, shiny bee. It's catching a lot of sun and probably warming up. You can see its abdomen is partly covered in dense black shiny fur. Its dark wings have some beautiful blue reflexions.

I was walking in my garden yesterday looking for something to photograph. At the moment the rhododendron "Cunningham's White" is starting to bloom. It is an early blooming rhododendron, in the Netherlands already at the end of April/beginning of May. And although several of the beautiful white flowers are already open, I was especially fascinated by the buds. They are pink, which is special, because the flower is white, but that strange way in which the petals are folded. It is a miracle that they do not come out wrinkled. Photographed so close, it even has something creepy. Something fleshy, like the inside of an ear or something. In any case, it is worth taking a closer look. #flowers #bloomscrolling #flower #gardensofpixelfed #gardening #garden #pixelfed #macro #macrophotography #amateurfotografie #photos #photography #rododendron

On a dark green background you look up close and from the side at a pink bud of a rhododendron. There are several flower buds present, of which the bottom ones are the longest and thickest. Further inwards the pink buds are narrower and less long. The still folded petals are clearly visible. There are edges along the length. It looks a bit strangely fleshy. It reminds me of an ear. At the bottom of the flower a sturdy flower base with yellow-green sepals. Around it are a few large green rododendron leaves.

Came across this little creature crawling on my strawberry plants, found out it’s a North American wheel bug nymph, which is a type of assassin #bug. They feed on other #insects, caterpillars, etc. so to the extent its prey are #garden pests these are a good thing to find on your plants.

Start of Autum and wandering around a national park. We stumbled across this red fly sitting on the orange mushroom.

A small red insect is perched on top of an orange mushroom in a forest setting. The background is blurred, showing green and brown hues, indicating foliage and branches. The mushroom has a slightly curved cap with a textured surface.

Meine erste Orchidee des Jahres. Ein Purpur-Knabenkraut. Die Sonne war so gnädig den Baum im Hintergrund bei Sonnenaufgang zu erwischen. Und das Foto hat mal wieder bewiesen, dass ein Polfilter auch für solche Fotos praktisch ist. Bringt die Farben einfach besser raus.

The weather’s getting warmer so that means the little critters are coming out. I geared up my XH 1 with the battery grip, flash, and diffuser and went Easter egg hunting for #insects and #arachnids I’m sorry Arachnophobes, they’re out in full swing now and I can’t pass up a shot.

Macro photo of a tiny spider in a tiny web against a blurry background of plants. The spider couldn’t have been taller than 2mm.

I’m not 100% sure what type of spider this is but my guess is it’s a juvenile orb weaver or garden spider. It was busy making its web and had no time to spend worrying about me with my camera.

Same spider as picture number 2 busy making its web for the night in hopes of catching dinner.

Today's timeline cleanser is a macro of the stem of a lily. The limited depth of field only leaves the top of the stem sharp with the orange pollen as very tiny dots

some macro fun in the forest

The macro image shows a wooden stump completely covered with light brown-greem moss and some small flowers with beautiful butterfly wing-shaped leaves. In the center of the picture is a small delicate flower with white petals (on which a tiny insect is sitting).

The macro image shows the same wood stump with the same white flower in the center (still with the small insect), but with more green moss and more flowers

The macro image shows the forest floor with lush green moss - which is somewhat shaped like small branches of conifers - and a fallen brown leaf.

My very rare find of a rare lichen during the last few days.
It is the second observation of the Branching Pixie Pebblehorn Lichen (Cladonia decorticata) reported on iNaturalist for all of Canada.
Four specimens of this lichen have been found in Alaska.

Schon wieder ein Maiglöckchen. Gestern morgen direkt bei Sonnenaufgang. Das erste Licht ist einfach immer wieder schön.

Ein Maiglöckchen, klein im Vordergrund vorne rechts. Die Umgebung bildet eine großteils unscharfe Waldszenerie mit zwei von der gerade aufgehenden Sonne rot angestrahlten Baumstämmen. Die restliche Umgebung ist großteils grün.

Pseudoflower - One of the succulents in my weird garden has sprouted this flower-looking thing, which caught some interesting light this afternoon.

A macro photograph of the head of a green succulent. It is shaped like the traditional idea of a flower, but all parts of the "flower" are made of thick succulent leaves.
