This captivating macro photograph showcases two brilliantly coloured lanternflies, their bodies adorned with a symphony of vibrant greens, oranges, and yellows. Perched on the textured bark of a tree, these insects seem to glow against the dark background.

This eerie but vibrant snap shows a flower mantis (Creobroter sp.) perched on top of the strange fruiting body of a Cordyceps fungus. In daylight, this insect is usually green, but wildlife photographer Irina Petrova Adamatzky used strategically placed coloured lights to accentuate its otherworldly appearance and that of the fungus. The shot won a bronze award in the 2025 World Nature Photography Awards

Another from my Ginko Petrified Forest collection. The orange on this one was just so vibrant. I come back and find this one every time I pass through.

If anyone knows the species of the lichen I post, I'd love to know.

Scripting my next #NatureMatchCuts podcast episode about moss. Well, the part about moss sex was quite funny to write ... now I have to explain the life of moss babies. If you want to see examples of real #diversity, look at moss persons! Fascinating!

Macro of brown ripe sporophytes of a very humid moss. This is what happens after sex.

Dusty weights of an apothecary scale (~1900)

#photography #photographyisart #fotografie #fuji #fujifilm #art #photo #35mm #macro #makro #macrophotography #closeup #historic #history #historical #nostalgia #geschichte #old #scales #weightmanagement

The photo shows a close-up of an antique apothecary scale with several small, round weights made of brass. The surface appears slightly worn and aged, with some areas showing oxidation and patina. The weights are arranged in a triangular pattern, and the metal surface has a warm gold tone with subtle reflections. The image features a shallow depth of field, blurring the background elements while highlighting the details of the metalwork. The combination of textures and tones gives the object a vintage or steampunk aesthetic.

Here's a drop of water.

The winter ants were deploying alates this afternoon

Love the gradient and black infill on this one. I believe this is a Hypogymnia.

A circular patch of lichen on a branch. The color slowly changes from white in the middle to green on the rim. The tightly packed radiating branches are outlined in a deep black.

Gestern konnte ich bei der Radtour durch den Wald noch keine Auroras finden. Auch keine Eier an den Wiesenschaumkräutern. Aber eigentlich sollte es aber nun losgehen mit der Flugzeit.

Hey, it's #FlyFriday!

Finally had the right combination of warm weather, health and time to get out and try my new AK diffuser with this marsh fly

Photo of a fly posing on the tip of a green leaf against an out of focus green background. The fly is a whitish color with lots of orange and brown freckles covering its body and dark bristly hairs.

An Asian hornet in Rosny-sous-Bois near Paris, France. After arriving in France in a cargo of pottery from China about 20 years ago, the species has spread rapidly across Europe. They prey aggressively on honeybees, and have been known to attack humans; several people have died after being stung by an Asian hornet.
