Photograph of a butterfly with folded wings, appearing almost black except for two circles at the ends of its wings, in the sun and resting on gray pavement. The butterfly’s shadow is projected in front of it, and its two antennae and the hairs of its body are clearly visible.

Photographie d'un papillon aux ailes repliées, paraissant presque noir sauf deux ronds aux extrémités de ses ailes, au soleil et posé sur du pavé gris. L'ombre du papillon est projetée devant lui, ses deux antennes et les poils de son corps bien visibles.

There is a fully visible insect in this picture.

I swear.

See alt-text for the spoiler.

Closeup of an oak tree trunk. Its bark is light grey with a splotch of lighter lichen toward the upper left. There are several brown furrows running vertically in the bark. In the upper right corner is a Brown-shaded Grey Moth just chilling out. I saw it land and even I knew exactly where it was, it still took a minute to find it. 🤭 Its wings are spread out and it’s facing to the right. Its coloring is exactly the same as the bark.

Photograph of a bumblebee seen from behind, entering the center of a yellow nasturtium flower. Its hairy yellow and black body appears somewhat large in comparison to the flower. Conversely, its wings, folded against its back, seem too small for it! Surrounding it are green foliage variegated with white and other yellow and orange nasturtium flowers.

Photographie d'un bourdon vu de dos en train d'entrer dans le centre d'une fleur de capucine jaune, son corps poilu jaune et noir semblant un peu gros par rapport à la fleur. Ses ailes repliées sur son dos semblent à l'inverse trop petites pour lui! Autour, le feuillage vert panaché de blanc et d'autres fleurs de capucines jaunes et oranges.

#SilentSunday #insects #butterfly #moth #macro #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

A black and white macro photograph of a moth perched on a window frame, clinging vertically to the edge of the screen, the mesh of which is partially visible at the top of the image. The moth is completely white, hairy, particularly on its head, with a sort of white mane, and its open wings have a slightly powdery texture. Its shadow is visible beneath it. The photograph is taken slightly from the side, and the rest of the window frame stretches into the background, illuminated by sunlight.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc d'un papillon de nuit posé sur le cadre d'une fenêtre, s'accrochant à la verticale sur le rebord du moustiquaire, dont le grillage est en partie visible dans le haut de la photo. Le papillon est complètement blanc, poilu particulièrement sur sa tête, avec une sorte de crinière blanche, et ses ailes ouvertes ont une texture un peu poudreuse. Son ombre est visible sous lui. La photo est prise légèrement sur le côté et le restant du cadre de fenêtre s'étire en arrière-plan, avec la lumière du soleil qui vient l'éclairer.

This Luna moth waited for the sun to warm her wings on a curb in a parking lot early this morning. I’m very lucky to have seen her because a Luna moth lifespan is only a week to 10 days. #moth #moths #nature #insects #wildlife

Aglais io #SilentSunday #butterfly #insects #macro #quebec #canada
#photography

Macro photograph of a peacock butterfly (Aglais io), with open wings on very small pink flowers of stonecrops, in focus in the foreground and blurred behind, in front of a blue background. The butterfly has a hairy brown body, two brown wings toothed on the rim, with beautiful colors: the lower wings have a bit of reddish hair near the body and a blue eye surrounded by a black ring, then very pale yellow ring and black again; The upper wings have an orange-red lower half, with an eye near the tip, red and black and blue, surrounded by yellow, then black and yellow spots, moving towards the center; the rim of the wings and the body seem to be sprinkled with golden powder. It does indeed look like a peacock, but above all has the head of an owl with large eyes.

Photographie macro d'un papillon-paon (Aglais io), posé les ailes ouvertes sur de très petites fleurs roses de sédum d'automne, devenant floues derrière, devant un fond bleu. Le papillon a un corps brun velu, deux ailes brunes dentées sur le rebord, avec de magnifiques couleurs: les ailes inférieures ont un peu de poils rougeâtres près du corps et un oeil bleu entouré de noir, puis de jaune très pâle et encore du noir; les ailes supérieures ont une moitié d'un rouge orangé, avec un oeil près de la pointe, rouge et noir et bleu, entouré de jaune, puis des taches noires et jaunes en s'en allant vers le centre; le rebord des ailes et le corps semblent être saupoudrés de poudre doré. Il ressemble effectivement à un paon, mais surtout à la tête d'un hibou avec de gros yeux.

the creepy stare

#macro #makromittwoch #macrophotography #insects #ladybug #monochrome #blackandwhite #halloween #photography

Black and white macro photograph of a ladybug looking directly at the photographer with its two round, shiny black eyes, giving it an eerie and somewhat frightening look. The shell in the sun appears pale, with black dots clearly visible. It stands on the center of a rudbeckie flower, a small dark pompon of dried mini flowers, in the lower half of the image.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc d'une coccinelle regardant directement la photographe avec ses deux yeux ronds noirs et brillants, lui donnant un air étrange et un peu épeurant. Sa carapace au soleil apparaît pâle, avec les points noirs bien visibles. Elle se tient sur le centre d'une fleur de rudbeckie, un petit pompon foncé de minifleurs séchées, dans la partie inférieure de la photo.

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while.

Why?

Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year.
Deal?

Un vecino del jardín. Interesante y pequeña. Le voy a llamar Paquita, seguramente si pudiera hablar, me diría quita, quita o dejame en paz!
