🕷I came across this zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus) today - it's amazing what you can find on a wall! 🕷Jumping spiders don't build webs, but have very large eyes at the front which help them to locate prey... as you can see in this photo! 👉Make your garden wildlife photos count by uploading them to the free iNaturalist app for #CityNatureChallenge and help put UK nature on the map! #cncuk @festofnature • • • • • • #spider #insect # #naturalbeauty #macro #invert_macro #naturephotography #macrophotography #ukwildlife #ukcountryside #uknature #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #lockdown #thingstodoinlockdown #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #FON20 #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk https://www.instagram.com/p/B_a4HPHJyRh/?igshid=1g4ms0xxltugl

🦋 The body of an orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines) butterfly is so fluffy! • 🦋This beautiful species is camouflaged on the underside, but bright white (and, for the males, with orange tips) on the upper side. • 👉Check out the previous two posts to see the species mating! • 👉Make your garden wildlife photos count by uploading them to the free iNaturalist app for #CityNatureChallenge and help put UK nature on the map! #cncuk @festofnature • • • #insect #butterfly #macro #macrophotography #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #ukwildlife #ukcountryside #uknature #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #invert_macro #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #lockdown #thingstodoinlockdown #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #FON20 #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk (at Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U1hZQJHzA/?igshid=1d18l7gtm8fvx

🦋I was incredibly lucky to come across a mating pair of orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines) butterflies the other day. 🦋In these shots, a second male is attempting to sabotage the mating and steal the female for himself, but he is fought off by the defending male! 👉Check out the previous post to see the mating pair at rest 👉Make your garden wildlife photos count by uploading them to the free iNaturalist app for #CityNatureChallenge and help put UK nature on the map! #cncuk @festofnature • • • #insect #butterfly #macro #macrophotography #naturalbeauty #naturephotography #ukwildlife #ukcountryside #uknature #BBCWildlifePOTD #BBCCountryfileMagPOTD #invert_macro #stbigshot #VitaminN #wildlifefrommywindow #lockdown #thingstodoinlockdown #dailydoseofnature #doorstepadventures #doorstepsafari #mywildgarden #FON20 #stayhomestaysafe #gardenwildlife #natureathome #nearbynature #conservationoptimism #naturewalk (at Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SdF_CJWil/?igshid=yc6mkqe5m8f9
