Good day ,
I had a little walk in the garden this morning , and was able to capture some wildlife and flowers.
It looks like we have lost some of the plants that we planted last year due to draught and heat, so i'm thinking of adding some Bamboo plants to the garden later this year for more hight and shadow i'm thinking of getting 3 or 5 plants of the Fargesia scabrida 'Asian Wonder' .
I think the red and green wil make a good match with the Cornus alba 'Sibirica' that we already have in the garden .
But that is for after the summer :)
Back to todays wild life and flowers in the garden.
fly on dried flowers
Oedemera nobilis / false oil beetle / fraaie schijnboktor the good stuff is always almost out of reach
Oedemera nobilis / false oil beetle / fraaie schijnboktor cleaning it's head
Oedemera nobilis / false oil beetle / fraaie schijnboktor almost ready
Oedemera nobilis / false oil beetle / fraaie schijnboktor moving back in to the flower to get more of the good stuff .
earwig sitting between the flower buds
switching camera and lens to get a better view of the earwig
capturing the nice details of it's eye and face
still don't understand why people are scared of them
fly
hover fly less then 1 cm long, this was a very thin and small hover fly the flower it sits on is 1cm in diameter.
still being able to capture these details
hover fly frontal view
munt vlindertje / Mint moth / Pyrausta aurata +/- 13mm from head to tail
this fluffy flower is the Trifolium arvense / hazenpootje / rabbitfoot clover
lavender
the lavender tumbling over after the rain and wind
Grote kaardenbol / Dipsacus fullonum / wild teasel is also tumbling over even with the extra support , the flower heads got to heavy.
but the flowers look amazing
And last but not least the echinops finaly started to flower

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. Infoi tried to ask it , but it only kept buzzing 😁
Lovely macro's again! That colourful beetle looks amazing up close!
that is what i like about that 2.5 magnification , being able to show those details .
Why do you have to make these critters so cute 😆 I really don’t like them in person but in photos like these they are kind of beautiful
i don't make them cute they already are , people just need to look at them differently 😁🙃
Well thanks for making it easier 😛
Your photos make the insects look cute! It’s hard to be scared of them like that! When they’re buzzing towards your face/crawling all over you it’s a different matter ha! Awesome photos as always!
good job my friend I congratulate you I love it
Yay! 🤗
