During my latest walks at the reservoir near home and at my parents house I have taken quite some macros of which I want to show a few today. When I find more time I want to edit the other photos too for another post, maybe even this week 😉
Macro Walks - Insect Macros
#WednesdayWalk

Just a quick and simple post today - I'm very busy at work at the moment and don't have much time to hive. It's a shame that you actually have to work at work 😏 and when I come home late there's often not much time left, like today.

If you look closer at this actually unimpressive bug you will notice a (somehow) beautiful and colorful insect. I have seen this Forest Bug Nymph on a tree in the forest behind my parent's house.

This little Weevil (Pachyrhinus lethierryi) was climbing on a leaf on a bush in my parent's garden and I have seen the little green thing only by accident. The Wevil was very kind to me and waited until I have taken a couple of photos of which a few have even been sharp enough 😁

During a walk at the reservoir near my hometown Klagenfurt I have met this little Wood Ant which had a walk on a big leaf. It was not that far to the ground, but it seemed the little ant was afraid of jumping down the few centimeters - it has found a more comfortable way down a little bit later.

The Ambitious Ant
The ambitious ant would a-travelling go
To see the pyramid's wonderful show.
He crossed a brook and a field of rye,
And came to the foot of a haystack high.
"Ah! wonderful pyramid!" then cried he;
"How glad I am that I crossed the sea!"

The Hoverfly I have photographed in my parents garden. I was already editing the photo today when I saw the post Morning AfterThe Corn Full Moon of my dear friend Jo @redheadpei, who had also a Hoverfly in her post :)

Some great shots here as usual Hannes,
The hidden colors on that Forest bug is also beautiful and so intricate!
Well done with that shot.
Now that is indeed a Hover Fly that you have here.
Your Macro shots really reveal the beauty of nature and that is a great poem.
Blessings!
Good morning and thank you so much for your kind words, my friend Zac 🤗
Since this crisis began I'm shooting a lot more macros than before, and I must say it makes fun, especially when you open the images later on the PC and see really what you have shot 😉
Cheers and !BEER

Hi Hannes, it was a pleasure to view your macro shots.
Always so great for us when we see the surprises on the PC.
Cheers and thanks!
Oh yes, the surprises are often better than the motif 😁
I have photographed a Damselfly a few weeks ago and there was a little fly sitting right below the Damselfly. Luckily I have seen this little fly when I looked if the photo was sharp and so I could take photos of both together 😊
Cheers and !BEER
!invest_vote
Great shots I am sure Hannes and looking forward to seeing it!
We went to the beach during the afternoon's shutdown and downloaded the camera when we got back her.
I have one photo with 4 different birds, three flying and one standing in the photo.
Will show you tomorrow as have to shut down now!
Cheers and thanks my friend and good night to you!
4 different birds in one photo sounds cool :)
I wish you also a good night Zac 😊
Cheers and !BEER
Yeah, a Tern and two Gulls in flight with an Egret standing at the bottom
You will see it in tomorrows post!
Blessings and sleep well my friend.
Cheers and thanks!

Lovely macro photos! This is another world or dimension of reality for me! It’d amazing to be able to see these insects on details!!
But I couldn’t talk to them as their brains are very different from mammals! Have you tried talking to insects?!
Cheers.
Good morning dear @kaminchan 😊
Thank you so much that you like my macros - it's a different world and a macro shows us often that an ugly looking insect is actually quite beautiful 😉
Oh yes, I talk to the insects as well as to mammals. I always say "hello" to them and if they had been nice to me and let me take a few photos I say "thank you" 😁 I think they talk to each other, because often they sit still and wait smiling for me 😉
Have a wonderful day, dear @kaminchan ☀️
Cheers and !BEER

Oh! You have a special gift of talking to tiny insects! I must try a bit harder in communicating with insects!

The macro photos are so beautiful and you remembered and fit in nicely.
Daisy flowers is my favorite ...🤗Good evening @johannpiber😊
Good morning @suzana72 😊
yes, I think after doing less in the past months we are all a bit more busy now 😉
Thank you very much that you like the photos - I think this was really one of the last daisies I have photographed, but I couldn't look through all photos yet.

I think I'll change from landscapes to macros - I can do this even on the balcony at any weather 😉

LOL, but can you really give up feeling of satisfying happiness, when you on the top of the mountain, taking photos of breathtaking sunrise 🌅?
And replaced with macros of insects taken from your balcony.

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
Cheers and !BEER

Yeah, I like that little guy too. Normally they hide behind the leaves when you get too close, but this one didn't 😁
Thank you that you like my macros JJ 😊

You should definitely try some macros again my friend 😁

so your saying that one was a bit of a poser lOL
I must clean my camera I have some sensor spots and at the same time I will get out my macro and add it to my bag
Yeah, and I remember that I thought he was even smiling at me 😊
And that now reminds me that I have to get new sensor cleaning fluid - last time I cleaned I emptied the bottle ;)

Very well said Johan! Same here, hiving here for me has been tough as I want to give more time in it, 2 hours for now seems like few minutes to me in here. I desperately need a weekend :D
Stunning photography again and loved the poetic lines by the way :) @johannpiber
Oh yes, I think many feel that way, and you are completely right - 2 hours are like a few minutes - definitely not enough time for the Hive 😉
Thank you very much for your kind comment and that you like my photos, @razeiv 😊

Beautiful captures Johann 😊 Awesome macro of the daisy flower.
Thanks for identifying the hover fly for me. My mind went blank and I thought it must be some sort of hornet.🙃 You got a great shot of it
The poem, The Ambitious Ant, is right on. The ants here are ambitious and will travel miles.
Have a wonderful Thursday dear Johann.🤗

Many people think it's a wasp or such, and at first sight they look really like such an insect.
Thanks a lot for your kindness, Jo, your nice compliment does good 😊
I'm working day and night tomorrow, but then I have the whole weekend for me. My wife and daughter visit my niece till Sunday and because my son will be with his girlfriend most of the time I'll be alone at home 😁

.Macro photos can be so interesting especially of insects when you can get up close and personal they have so many beautiful features at least they are easier then butterflies to photograph superb shots love them all 🙂 👍
Butterflies are like other insects best shot in the morning before they warm up. Later it's quite hard, I agree.

WOW! The "Daisy Flowers" in your parents garden is very gorgeous. It's so sad that the flowers are now all withered and gone till next year.
The insects are very fascinating. I agree with you, "If we look closer at these insects or buts, we will notice a (somehow) beautiful and colorful insects or bugs"..... Great capture! ;)
Good morning and thank you so much for your kind compliments, my friend 😁
Yes, the daisies are gone, but in a few months they will come back and bloom again 😊
