Die frühe Schwebfliege findet die schönste Blüte 😉 Kommt gut in die neue Woche. #MacroMonday #schönesgegenDoofes

Eine Schwebfliege mit schwarz-gelbem Muster sitzt auf einer weißen Blüte mit gelber Mitte. Die filigranen Flügel der Fliege sind gut sichtbar, der Hintergrund ist weich und grünlich verschwommen, was das Insekt und die Blume in den Fokus rückt.

Blue argus, in an unlikely spot Junonia orythra, Stuart Highway, NT I'll make my joy like this Small Butterfly; Whose happy heart has power To make a stone a flower. -William Davies (whole poem in ALT) #photography #MacroMonday #BlueSkyMonday #insects #butterfly #joy #EastCoastKin

A butterfly with partially opened wings sitting on the rough, dirt-covered road metal of a highway. The butterfly's forewings are black with white streaked tips and small yellow eyespots, while the hindwing are a glorious blue, edged with white, also sporting two small yellow eyespots.

I saw another post with a butterfly quote this poem, and it seemed appropriate:

The Example

Here's an example from
A Butterfly;
That on a rough, hard rock
Happy can lie;
Friendless and all alone
On this unsweetened stone.

Now let my bed be hard
No care take I;
I'll make my joy like this
Small Butterfly;
Whose happy heart has power
To make a stone a flower.
-William Davies

The larvae of the Eggplant Tortoise Beetle (Gratiana pallidula) has spiny appendages and keeps its poop and exuviae (skins from previous molts) attached at the rear. It can hold this hot mess over its body or elevate it--like the convertible roof of a car. The three round structures are head capsules from previous molts. You can see where it pooped, molted, pooped, molted, pooped, molted (its life history displayed on its back).

Suspended above it is a brown mass with three head capsules lined up in a row from previous molts.A flat, green, caterpillar like larvae with spiny appendages along the side.

Sort of #MacroMonday - close up of a bee in a rose. #Flowers #EastCoastKin

A honey bee in a yellow rose.  Close up - just showing part of the rose flower, the bee in the center.

Nature's pixels... D2A, Digital to Analog conversion Speiredonia spectans, Grandmother's cloak moth Every wing pattern is ultimately composed of individual tiny scales... Nature's pixels, encoded in DNA. #MacroMonday #photography #macro #lepidoptera #moths #patterns #beauty #EastCoastKin

A grandmother's cloak moth, beautifully symmetrical,  rich dark brown with undulating patterns, scalloped wing edges, and two eye-spots. Analog at a distance, digital close up (see next shot).Macro close-up of a single eye-spot on the Speredonia moth wing, showing the individual scales, effectively pixels, making up the pattern. BlueSky's compression algorithms might make this hard to see, unfortunately, but the texture gives the idea.

'Insekten' @FotoVorschlag

Passend zum heutigen FotoVorschlag hat vorhin eine Schnake an meinem Wohnzimmerfenster eine Rast eingelegt.

"Schnaken ernähren sich von freiliegenden Säften wie Wasser [...]" (Quelle: Wikipedia)

Welch genügsames Geschöpf, darf gerne wiederkommen. Jetzt hält es erstmal Einzug in meine Scheibenwelten.

Der vordere Teil der Schnake aus nächster Nähe.

Eine Springspinne von unten, geknipst mit dem Makro-Objektiv durch die Scheibe.

Der jüngste Neuzugang in meiner Galerie Scheibenwelten: life-sux.org/scheibenwelten/

Die Spinne von unten, die Beine sind ziemlich durchscheinend und behaart.

Anomis psamathodes Don't know whether it has a common name Beautifully camouflaged moth #MacroMonday #photography #insects #lepidoptera #moths #BaldKnob #EastCoastKin

A delta-winged, leaf-brown moth, shaded to look like a dead leaf, down to rib marking and scalloped edges suggesting it has been damaged or partially eaten.
