Dandelion (𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘦) fluff! I didn't even notice the little katydid (Tettigoniidae) photobomber while I was taking the picture, but there it is.

#BloomScrollingWithInsect #dandelion #orthoptera #FluffySeeds

The fluffy head of a dandelion amidst some grass and leaves. Below and to the right of the dandelion, a small insect clings to a blade of grass.

The dandelions (𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘦) were out en masse at Thompson Park on our last hike, and there were many tiny critters fully enjoying them.

Clockwise, from top left:
1. One of many fields of dandelions
2. Hoverfly (family Syrphidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
3. Tiny bee (probably a sweat bee, family Halictidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
4. Two ants (family Formicidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion

A field of grass with about a gazillion dandelions throughout, making it more yellow than green. There are a couple of lone trees in the field, and a line of shorter trees at the edge.

Closeup of a stripey fly-- lengthwise stripes on the thorax, widthwise stripes on the abdomen-- perched on a dandelion flower.

Another closeup of a dandelion flower, this one currently home to two ants.

This final dandelion flower has a rather small bee seemingly cuddling its center.

Det fick bli ett par bilder till i från trädgården i morse. #bloomscrolling #bloomscrollingwithinsect

*edit @Spaceways Suggested a Yellow-haired Sun Fly, Myathropa florea, the Batman hoverfly, and they have been identified in the region, and it really looks like one.
...

Some kind of drone fly I guess. Seems more yellow than most of the photos of the 'Common' one. It's on a chokecherry blossom.

A photo of a large hoverfly on a chokecherry flower. The fly is black and yellow.

Honey bees and apple blossoms. Saw a bumble bee too but it had no desire to stay on a blossom for more than a half second.

A photo showing a honey bee on an apple blossom. The bee is average to darker colored, the flower is white. The leaves are green. In full sun.

A honey bee on an apple blossom in full sun. The bee is average to light colored. The flower has a tint of pink to it's whiteness.

A honey bee on an apple blossom. The bee is dark colored. The flower is pretty much just white.

A honey bee hanging from an apple blossom by one leg. The bee appeared to be stuck so I took it's photo.. then I gave it a nudge and it crawled on top of the flower. It is an average colored bee.. maybe a little light colored.

Yellow-horned flower longhorn beetle (𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘴) on common mullein (𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘶𝘴), from July 2023:

A long slim beetle with long amber antennae and black and yellow elytra perches on yellow flower. The flower is one of several open ones on a spike of mostly unopened green flowers-to-be.

Bicolored sweat bee (𝐴𝑔𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑠) on rose mallow (𝐻𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑠𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑐𝑢𝑠), from August of 2022:

#InsectThursday #BloomScrollingWithBee #bee #hymenoptera #BloomScrolling #BloomScrollingWithInsect

Closeup of a small bee with shiny green head and thorax and a black-and-yellow-striped abdomen. It is perched on the petal of a hibiscus, facing to the right, big (for its size) eyes and wing detail in view. The flower is white with red at the center, at the base of the petals near the style. White grains of pollen are scattered about, including several on the bee.

Closeup of a small bee with shiny green head and thorax and a black-and-yellow-striped abdomen. The bee is in the center of a hibiscus flower, next to the style, and both bee and flower bear a smattering of white grains of pollen. The flower's petals and style are white, the petals becoming red near the style.

Closeup of a small bee with shiny green head and thorax and a black-and-yellow-striped abdomen. The bee is covered in pollen and emerging from the center of a hibiscus flower that is much bigger than it is. The flower petals are white, becoming red towards the center where the white style towers over the bee.

Green metallic sweat bee (male 𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢, I think) on barren strawberry (𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴) from April of 2021:

A small bee with a lovely shiny green exoskeleton is perched on one of two five-petaled bright yellow flowers.

The bitter cold outside plus my phone's dying battery means I've been trolling through old pictures, looking for things I (probably) haven't posted yet, like this ailanthus moth (𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘢 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘢) on New Jersey tea (𝘊𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴) from July of 2022:

An insect whose orange wings have bands of black-bordered white splotches, clinging to a mass of white flowers. The background is all green leaves and stems and more of the white flowers.

Walking to the store this morning, I spotted this wee katydid (𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘴 sp.) perching on a dandelion (𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘦) near the sidewalk:

A little green katydid, all super long antennae and hopper legs and wings that extend quite a way back past its butt, sitting on a bright yellow dandelion flower.

Carrot seed moth (𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴) on wild carrot (also known as Queen Anne's lace, 𝘋𝘢𝘶𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘢), from yesterday's hike:

Nachdem wir heute bereits eine Goldschwebfliege besucht haben, sind wir nun eine Pflanze 🌸 weiter gezogen und treffen hier auf die

Kleine Keilfleckschwebfliege
(Eristalis arbustorum)

Sie wiederum ist in Mitteleuropa eine der häufigsten Schwebfliegenarten und auch in NRW verbreitet anzutreffen.

Am heutigen #Insektensamstag unternehmen wir einen Besuch bei den Schwebfliegen. Das Makro-Foto zeigt die

Gemeine Goldschwebfliege
(Ferdinandea cuprea)

welche zwar in NRW nachgewiesen ist, jedoch zu den eher seltener anzutreffenden Schwebfliegen zählt. Viel häufiger und gleich in der Nachbarschaft findet sich diese Schwebfliege.

Japanese beetle (𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘫𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢) nestled in a red clover (𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦), from yesterday's hike:

A closeup of the flowerhead of a red clover, looking like a big magenta poof. Nestled in the poof is a gleaming metallic-looking scarab, with coppery elytra, green body, and a row of tiny cottony white poofs down the side. Multiple levels of poofiness!

Nicht nur Start ins Wochenende, auch der #Insektensamstag ist eingeläutet 🐞.
