Pretty Smelling Pink. A Horsefly rests in the middle of a thistle flower. This beautiful magnified photograph takes you close into their world and you begin to get a sense of the scale these insects are working with. The horsefly stayed on the flower for a good amount of time so I was able to get a single focused shot, between the gusts of wind 😅 Reaching deeper into their world makes everything look better and when both subjects complement each other, one with the detail and one with vibrant colour, it makes for such an outstanding photograph 👌 . . . #macromonday . . . #horsefly #insectlovers #insects #insectphotography #insectsofinstagram #insects_of_our_world #insectsworld #insects_macro #insect #macro_brilliance #macro_of_our_world #macro_perfection #macro_highlight #macrofreaks #macromood #macrophotography #macrolovers #macro #macroaddict #macroworld #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #photography #felixstowe #suffolk (at Felixstowe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUn2qMasFGC/?utm_medium=tumblr

∴ I was wandering around the forest during mushroom season, letting the forest lead me to the treasures she likes to hide under her skirts. When I see bright red/orange my excitement just peaks, I know it’s an Amanita (or one is so hopeful). I wonder what the mushroom see’s when I stop mid walk to run towards it to admire its beauty, snap some glamour shots, & then admire some more. This one was tucked under a huge fern, I decided to shoot this one mid-walk to the mushroom, the framing of the fern leaves were just too perfect to resist. ∴⁣ 𐄁⁣⁣⁣ 𐄁⁣⁣✶⁣Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric)⁣

Mining bee (Andrena spp.) on Ceanothus, aka California lilac. If only this shrub could bloom longer than a week! Ceanothus is pretty much the holy grail of bee plants, attracting virtually every known species in my garden in great abundance. For the other 51 weeks of the year it's a lovely evergreen shrub. #bees #pollinators #beegarden#pollinatorgarden #ceanothus #canon7dmarkii #insects_of_our_world #insects_macro #macroclique #kings_insects #pocket_insects #canon60mmmacrolens #macrofreaks #macro_mood #macro_vision #macro_perfection #macrophoto

This bee is ready for action. A green berry bee starts to chew out of her cocoon.

Sphecodes cuckoo bee - an image I took a couple of years ago, and still my favorite bee photo I've ever taken. A very attractive bee, the sphecodes cuckoo is a nest parasite of various sweat bee species. #bee #insects_of_our_world #macroclique #mat_macro #macrophotography #macrofreaks #macroworld_tr #macro_perfection #takeoff #sphecodes #cuckoobee #pollinators #beegarden

Paratiphia wasp on Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota). These nifty wasps belong to the family of Tiphiid wasps, which are a major player in nature's beetle control business. Their work can come in handy when trying to control outbreaks of introduced beetles. In addition to my bee photos I like to post an image of a wasp every Wednesday for no other reason than The word "Wednesday" and "wasp" begin with the letter W. I guess I also think wasps are pretty interesting. I hope you will find them interesting too. #insects_of_our_world #wasp #insects_macro #insectsofinstagram #pollinatorgarden #tiphiidwasp #kings_insects #pocket_insects #macrofreaks #macroclique #macroworld_tr #paratiphia
