Macro photograph of two pairs of reddish-brown spruce needles that have fallen into a stream and are partially covered in melting ice. A hole in the middle of the ice reveals the sheath of each pair, their point of attachment. The ice and all its tiny air bubbles reflect the light.

#macro #macrophotography #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

Black and white macro photograph of the underside of a flat sea urchin's shell or skeleton, showing the very round, black opening of its mouth, located right in the middle. Five dark branches radiate all around, subdividing, like small trees. The lighter surface of the shell has small dots, like goosebumps, each of which forms the base of small spines that serve as legs when the animal is alive. The whole thing looks more like reptile skin.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc de la surface inférieure de la coquille ou du squelette d'un oursin plat, montrant l'ouverture très ronde et noire de sa bouche, située en plein milieu. Cinq branches foncées irradient tout autour, se subdivisant, comme de petits arbres. La surface plus claire de la coquille est parsemée de petits points, comme de la chair de poule, constituant chacun la base de petites épines servant de pattes lorsque l'animal est vivant. L'ensemble ressemble davantage à une peau de reptile.

Small gems to be found in a frozen cedar I

#monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #macrophotography #icetodon #trees #photography

Black and white macro photograph of ice on the surface of cedar leaf scales. The leaf resembles an insect with two open wings, and the ice forms a kind of shiny and translucent cape spread on its back.

It's mad out there – lots of new species in the garden, but many of them proving photographically elusive in the warm, sunny conditions 😬

But it's only mid-April – there's time ... 🕰️👊

Among the cooperative ones: a very pretty juniper shield bug (Cyphostethus tristriatus; 🇩🇪 Buntrock [meaning "colourful skirt" 🙂]).

A shield bug sitting on a leaf, seen from the front and above. The bug has a mostly dark green head and pronutum, with small wrinkles and dimples. The eyes are grey-ish, and the antennae are light green with red-brown ends. The scutellum is long and a mix of green and yellow. The wing cases are red-brown with black spots, and the wings themselves near the end of the abdomen and clear, with a little orange. The legs are light green.

*DOOMSCROLLING CHECKPOINT*

Okay just stop. Breathe. Take your mind off the rapid collapse of US Democracy for just a few moments.

I'll help you. Here's some baby giant springtails, aren't they cute?

They don't understand human politics, they just eat fungi and logs and go to sleep. That must be nice for them.

Okay, off you go. Come back if you need to.

From the garden today, something rather rare, I believe 🙂

It's a leaf-rolling sawfly, genus Pamphilius, but many of the more common ones are not good matches.

After much searching, I think I've found it – the belted rose spinner (P. inanitus; 🇩🇪 Rosengespinstblattwespe).

Only five prior observations in Germany on iNaturalist 😱

A highly-coloured sawfly seen from above on a green rose leaf. The fly has a yellow and black head, with a ruddier colour below the eyes, and brown antennae. There are yellow patches on either side of the head towards the rear. The thorax is black with a strong yellow rim at the front, and the legs are all yellow. The abdomen is firstly ruddy, then black, with a hint of a yellow tip. The wings are clear, but with very strong, thick, prominent black veins, plus small yellow patches on the sides.

Three #photos today. Saw this pipevine #swallowtail flittering around the backyard and eventually it zeroed in on the #pipevine I planted earlier this spring just for this species (its host plant). Captured it alighting on it then depositing a clutch of #eggs.
