Dandelions have always captivated me—their strength and delicacy together. Even as adults, we can’t help but dream when their seeds drift on the wind. https://www.pictorem.com/2642391/dandelion-seed-and-parachutes-with-morning-dew/ #wallart #artprints #macrophotography #artgifts #inspiration #ayearforart #supportthearts #art #artist

Finally! 🎉 I've been seeing male orange tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) for weeks now, but they never stopped to be photographed. Even this one today, on the Königstuhl, was flitting from flower to flower, making it hard to get close with my iPhone. But still ... 🙂 In German, they have the beautiful name Aurorafalter. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

Despite the continued cool weather & apparent lack of much going on, lunchtime in the garden proved decently productive. First, a small groundhopper nymph, likely genus Tetrix. Being more specific is tricky, but T. undulata, the common groundhopper (🇩🇪 Gemeine Dornschrecke) is my best guess. Alternatively T. tenuicornis or T. subulata. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

Next, one of the bigger & buzzier flies in our garden – the common tachnid (Tachina fera; 🇩🇪 Schwarzfühler-Borstenfliege). Closely related to Nowickia ferox, which we also have, the latter being generally darker – hope to see one later. I didn't manage to get a great head-on shot, but it very proudly displayed its bristly arse to me 🤷‍♂️🙂 #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

Now turning to a couple of bees. First, this red mason bee (Osmia bicornis; 🇩🇪 Rote Mauerbiene) was hanging around the new bee hotel, & may have been responsible for filling & capping one or more of the wooden holes & bamboo tubes. Osmia bicornis are solitary bees & important spring pollinators. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

Next a new bee species for me, albeit rather distinctive. This is an ashy mining bee (Andrena cineraria; 🇩🇪 Aschgraue Sandbiene or Grauschwarze Düstersandbiene). Another solitary bee species, albeit one that digs holes in the ground for its nest, rather than using wood. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

Finally & rather more ominously for the bees, an early sighting of an Asian or yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina; 🇩🇪 Asiatische Hornisse). Predators on bees, they've become so prevalent in Europe in recent years, the German govt has largely given up on trying to eradicate them. Reporting them is no longer mandatory in some states. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲

We had a sudden, unexpected heavy overnight frost so I got busy with my OM System Tough TG7 and its marvellous microscopic mode for some in-camera focus stacks. The frost crystals are seriously cool (pun intended). #Photography #BlackAndWhite #MacroPhotography

The tiny flowers of a Hydrangea hidden among the pale lime-green bracts. This is from Hydrangea 'Limelight' #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Plants #MacroPhotography

Some more lichen detail from the wooden seat outside the local shop. I think there are examples here of crustose (grey crusty one at the very bottom with raised plateaux), foliose (blue-grey lobed one on the lower right that looks like waves in a storm), leprose (powdery yellow one in the bottom right corner that's growing on something else), and fruticose (grey-green branched one top left) species, all in one shot. These are growing between two of the slats forming the back of the seat, a shadier and more protected spot than the previous post which was of part of the sitting surface of the seat. #LichenSubscribe #MacroPhotography #Photography #Nature #Lichen #NaturePhotography

Lichen on a wooden seat just outside our local corner shop. The seat is pretty heavily colonised by lichen, with different species growing on top, between, and behind the slats. This is a 40 image photo stack, hand held (well, kneeling on the ground and propped against the bench, holding my breath so as to be as wobble-light as possible). #LichenSubscribe #Lichen #MacroPhotography #NaturePhotography #Nature
