The image shows a close-up of a fly resting on a green leaf. The fly has a metallic blue abdomen, a dark thorax with visible segment lines, and large reddish-brown compound eyes. Its transparent wings have fine, detailed veins and a slightly iridescent sheen. The leaf beneath it shows a textured surface with visible veins, giving a natural contrast to the fly’s shiny body. The image is sharply focused, revealing intricate details of both the insect and the leaf.

The image shows a vivid close-up of a cluster of bright red flowers. The petals are smooth and slightly elongated, forming an open, star-like shape. At the center of the flower, white stamens protrude slightly, creating a striking contrast with the deep red petals. In the background, more flower buds and blooms can be seen, softly blurred, emphasizing the sharp focus on the central blossom. The photo’s rich colour and shallow depth of field highlight the fine textures and intensity of the red hue, giving it a dramatic, almost velvety appearance. This flower is a cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), known for its brilliant scarlet red blooms and tubular shape.

The image shows a close-up of a brightly coloured shield bug (family Pentatomidae) resting on a pink petal. The insect has a shiny, metallic green and yellow body with intricate black markings. Its rounded abdomen displays rows of pale yellow or cream spots near the edges, giving it a patterned appearance. The legs and antennae are dark, and the overall texture of the bug’s exoskeleton is smooth and glossy. The background is softly blurred in green and pink tones, making the bug and the petal it’s perched on stand out sharply in focus.

The image shows a close-up of a pale green and white crab spider (likely Misumena vatia, also known as the goldenrod crab spider) positioned on the vibrant yellow petals of a flower. The spider’s body is compact and smooth, with its front legs extended outward in a typical crab-like stance, ready to ambush prey. Its small eyes and subtle facial markings are visible on the front of its head. The contrasting background of yellow petals and green blurred foliage enhances the spider’s delicate coloration and detail.

The image shows a close-up of a butterfly perched on a bright orange coneflower (Echinacea). The butterfly’s wings are brown and textured, with irregular edges that mimic the appearance of dried leaves — an effective camouflage against predators. A distinctive small white “C”-shaped mark can be seen on the underside of the wing, identifying it as a Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album). The butterfly’s antennae are long and thin, with small clubbed tips, and its body is covered in fine scales. The background is softly blurred in green and brown tones, emphasizing the detailed focus on the butterfly and flower.

The image shows a macro photo of a bee clinging upside down to two small, delicate yellow-green bell-shaped flowers. The bee’s body is covered in dense golden-brown hairs, and its large black eyes and antennae are clearly visible. Its legs are grasping the flower petals as it feeds or collects pollen. The background is a smooth, blurred green, creating a soft contrast that highlights the sharp details of the bee and flowers. The lighting emphasises the textures of both the insect’s fuzzy body and the translucent petals.

The image shows a close-up of a vibrant dahlia flower in full bloom. Its petals radiate outward in rich shades of orange, pink, and magenta, blending smoothly into each other with touches of yellow near the center. The tightly packed central petals are deep magenta, gradually opening into broader, fiery-orange outer petals. The background is softly blurred in green tones, emphasizing the striking colors and intricate texture of the flower. The image captures vivid detail, highlighting the dahlia’s layered symmetry and natural brilliance.

The image shows a small, beautifully patterned moth resting on a bright yellow flower. The moth has dark brown wings adorned with distinct golden-orange. Its thorax is covered with golden hairs, giving it a slightly shimmering appearance. The flower’s petals are vivid yellow with a warm, sunlit glow, creating a striking contrast against the moth’s darker tones. The background is softly blurred, drawing focus to the moth and the flower. This moth appears to be the Mint Moth (Pyrausta aurata) — a small, day-flying moth commonly found in gardens and meadows, often attracted to mint, marjoram, and other aromatic plants.

The image captures a striking close-up of a crab spider (family Thomisidae) perched on the edge of a smooth petal. The spider’s pale, almost white body and long, angular legs stand out sharply against the dark background. Its front legs are extended outward in the characteristic crab-like stance, poised as if ready to ambush prey. The soft texture and gentle curvature of the petal contrast with the spider’s delicate, articulated form. A fine silk thread trails from its abdomen, suggesting recent movement or web anchoring. The monochrome tone and dramatic lighting emphasise every subtle contour and highlight the spider’s intricate structure, giving the scene a calm yet tense stillness.

The image captures a vivid close-up of a gerbera daisy in full bloom. The outer petals form a perfect circle of deep pink, their smooth surfaces radiating from the heart of the flower. At the center, a dense cluster of tiny tubular florets transitions from pale pink to golden yellow toward the core, each tipped with delicate pollen-bearing anthers. The sharp detail reveals the intricate symmetry and layered textures typical of a gerbera, highlighting both its natural elegance and striking colour contrast.

The image shows a close-up of a hoverfly perched on the spiky, orange-red central cone of a coneflower (Echinacea). The hoverfly has a yellow and black striped abdomen, transparent wings, and large brown compound eyes. The insect’s body glistens slightly in the sunlight, revealing fine details of its thorax and wings. The background is softly blurred in shades of pink and brown, the petals of the coneflower, creating a pleasing contrast that highlights the hoverfly in sharp focus.

The image shows a close-up of a green bush cricket perched on a partially opened flower bud. The insect’s body is bright green with long, delicate antennae extending far beyond its body length. Its legs are thin and elongated, adapted for jumping. The flower has slender petals that are pinkish-orange near the tips and pale towards the base, contrasting against the green sepals and stem. The background is softly blurred with warm green and yellow tones, creating a gentle, natural atmosphere.

This was the area I as most worried about (Patricia Lake) because most of the trees on the right side of the photo were dead from pinebark beetle infestation. Any fire there would have been devastating, but it still looks the same (for now).

The picture shows five white birds flying against a grey-blue sky. The birds are probably black-fronted spoonbills, a species of large white wading bird. They are scattered across the picture and appear to be flying in different directions. The sky is cloudless.

The image is a detailed black-and-white macro photo of a bee perched on a flower. The bee’s fuzzy thorax, segmented abdomen, and transparent wings are clearly visible, showing fine textures and tiny hairs. Its large compound eye and bent legs gripping the flower’s pointed structures are in sharp focus, while the background fades smoothly into a soft blur.

Oltre l'erba alta e secca e una strada sterrata e affiancata da alberi dai colori vivaci tipici dell'autunno, si vedono, in lontananza, la Rocca Fregoso di Sant'Agata Feltria (Rimini) e le montagne che delimitano la vallata del fiume Savio. Il cielo è parzialmente coperto dalle nuvole.

Both images show a small fruit fly perched on a green leaf, captured in sharp macro detail. On this image, the fly is seen from a side and slightly above angle, revealing its orange-brown body with fine hairs and patterned wings marked with dark brown spots. Its large, reddish-orange compound eyes and short antennae are clearly visible. The translucent wings have a mosaic-like pattern and are held slightly apart. The fly’s segmented abdomen tapers toward the tip, and its thin legs rest lightly on the leaf’s surface. The background is a smooth gradient of green, keeping focus on the insect. On this image, the same fly is viewed from the front, showing its symmetrical face with prominent orange eyes and short antennae. The patterned wings are raised and angled backward in a characteristic “V” shape. Fine body hairs and details of the head and thorax are visible, and the fly stands on the leaf’s edge, appearing alert. The leaf’s surface texture and veins are in focus near the insect, while the background remains softly blurred in dark green tones. The images present a close-up od a fly, likely from the Tephritidae family, known for their distinctive wing markings and bright coloration.
