Come in and have a look at some of the nice little creatures I have met on my walks.
Little World
PhotoFeed Theme Contest - Macro Photography
 [click for fullsize] |
The above image is my contribution to this week's PhotoFeed Contest. The theme of the week is Macro Photography. Choosing the right image was hard, but I was so happy that the photo of this little weevil guy came out so lovely, that I had to take it.
(Pachyrhinus lethierryi: Family of Curculionidae - Wikipedia)
This week's contest has given me the opportunity to look through my macro photos which I have taken during the past months.

This ant was slowly climbing up and down the leaf for quite a while, so I could take a couple of shots ot it. Most photos look just the same, so I think one should be enough for this post ;)
In the end the ant fell down on the ground, but of course, it didn't get hurt and continued crawling to somewhere.

I know I'm not the best macro photographer and these photos are far from being perfectly sharp or composed, but it makes fun to sometimes take the macro lens with me and look for the smaller animals, which have become quite hard for me to see since a few years.
While a few years ago I only needed glasses when sitting at the computer and to read the newspaper, I now need them for everything that's smaller than an elephant 😉

Bees belong to the most important insects in our world and they say if the bees die we will die soon after them. I love bees and I am always happy when I see one flying around the flowers on our balcony.

The German name of the Small Heath is "Kleines Wiesenvögelchen" what means "Little meadow bird" in English. I think I prefer this name 😉 (Small Heath - Wikipedia).

The following images show the same fly as shown already in the beginning. It was just waking up from sleeping on a flower. I was a bit too late that morning, so the morning dew on it has mostly dried up already.

I take most of my macros hand held because placing a tripod takes time and if an insect moves or if it's windy, a tripod would only be obstructive.

There are spiders I wouldn't touch, but some look cute, just like this Raft Spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus / Raft Spider - Wikipedia). I'm always searching for Jumping Spiders, but I haven't found any yet, although they live here in Austria too.

I know the Click Bettles since I was a child - we held them between two fingers to feel the "click" when they tried to escape 😉 (Click Beetle - Wikipedia).

These are two different butterflies I have found on the same morning in August this year. Still half asleep, they didn't mind me taking photos of them at all (Aricia agestis - Wikipedia).

Last, but not least, I have a little mushroom family for you. It's no macro, but a close-up I have taken with my 70-200mm lens a couple of weeks ago. This mushroom family was growing so nicely on a mossy tree branch and I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.

So, that was it for today, I hope you enjoyed my views into the little world around us and wish you a Happy Weekend 🌞

Ordinary bugs look fantastic in macrophotography, @johannpiber!
Let me see if I can find any bugs!
Oh yes, many insects which we even don't notice or are scared about, look beautiful when you see them through the macro lens. Go and search them, but don't let them bite you 😁
Thanks a lot for commenting, dear @silversaver888, I'm wishing you a wonderful weekend 🌞

I love to see photos of mushroom. They are incredible creature, the way they connected underground is amazing so whenever I see the fruit body of mushroom, I always imagine to a net mycelium underneath it
To be honest, I seldom think what's down in the ground, bu tI like mushrooms, although they most times hide from me 😂
Thank you very much for commenting so nicely, Dora, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend 🌞

I was intrigued at the beginning when I saw what I thought was a fly and you called it a weevil. No problems of course but I went into over thinking about your cold country not having flies like we do here in Queensland. In Melbourne in the State of Victoria myself sister does not have flies. I think it is far too cold for too long. Anyway I am rambling away!
Anyway @johannpiber you take very sharp clear photos of flies, it looks very real. Wishing you well 💛
Haha, we do have flies, but mostly you can find them on the dung heaps behind the stables on the farms, sometimes even in cold Winters 😂
Thank you very much kindly for your nice comment, @angiemitchell 🤗
Btw, I haven't known that there's an area in Australia where it's cold

Remember the small things in life, you have a wonderful selection of many here even with this 'failing eyesight' these are not elephants either 😂.
These little ones really do move constantly making a tripod impossible to use when one is on the move, or with wind.
Ant and click beetle are the two I would select for sharpness, have a great day and keep on clicking....

Fine, I was hoping it would help 😁
It's too warm here for the snow to stay, and it's raining too, but hopefully in a month everything here will be white 🌨️❄️

Warm through the night still above 20, hopefully some rain will return soon. We remain on same level of lockdown as more scientific evidence is being explored on new Omicron variant.
In between snow and warm days watering the ground before the big fall arrives, last of leaves will soon be gone. White Christmas I would imagine you always have one!
!BEER
This new variant of the virus seems to cause a lot of headaches. We are having it here already - no restrictions can stop this virus.
We haven't had White Christmas for quite some years. Either it snows a while before and all snow is gone till Xmas or it snows later in January, but every year we hope it snows on Christmas Eve 😀
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃

Oh I hope it is a white Christmas this year then you can share some amazing photographs of that white fluffy stuff and a snowman or two, perhaps a hike up the hill as well!
This virus is never going to go away, it is much like the cold and flu, at the moment a hot topic so everyone is standing alert, carry on with life it's the only one we have!

I love that first image, he looks like he is hanging on by a thread! I will admit, I love your bugs with compound eyes! There is something that appeals to me with them and you have them well represented here!
These up close and personal are great! Have a great day!
First image!
Thank you so much kindly, Denise 🤗
I love these eyes too and one thing I want to buy one day is a better macro lens to get them more magnified in the images.
Wishing you also a great day 🌞

Now why do I only see these goggas now? I somehow remember a fleeting look during a busy spell, but I forgot my decision to come back to it.
Must be all of those scary big insects that frightened me.
That's why I only like the mushroom photo as I fear insects 🤣
Jokes aside, some great shots here Hannes, beautiful contrasts and colors.
Luckily I got here in time to study all of them.
Well done.
Blessings.
Oh yes, Zac fears insects, that was a good one, but I am afraid I have no !LOLZ left 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you very much kindly als always, Zac 🤗

Only a pleasure for me my friend as you post great stuff 😊
Cheers and thanks.
Haha, bad luck, I know a lot policemen and women who would run away with you 🤣

Hahaha, as long as one of the running cops isn't named Hannes 🤣!LOLZ
I am trying to build your lolz stock up.
Remember that we discussed bee swarms?
Look what happened here:

Cheers and thanks.
Haha, you may be sure that I won't be one of those cops 🤣 !LOLZ
Bees attacking people without a reason - never heard of such. That's weird.
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
!invest_vote
Hahaha, we will both stand and watch them running away, oh, and then we will take photos as usual 🤣
Bees never attack without a reason my friend, so something had to have agitated those bees and that's why the soldiers were out stinging everyone. It normally starts at the hive, so if they find the hive, then they will find the reason 😘
Cheers and thanks.

Love this photo shoot on the little world, Hannes. Lovely macro photography. I couldn’t pick a favorite but especially like the first photo and the spider. I’m always amazed at the eyes on a spider which you only see with macro photos. The little mushroom family is a great find.
Have a wonderful Sunday dear Hannes.😊🌞
