Oh, I love moths, including this, with the peculiar name The figure of eight, Diloba caeruleocephala! But have you seen it and its' pattern on the wings, you understand why. It flies now.

Thank you! 🙏
Picture taken 2003 with a Nikon coolpix 995, one of the first digital cameras I had. The photo holds up well, in spite of a resolution of only 3,1 megapixels, in my opinion.

One of the more unfathomable moths I know of, with an incredible "english" name - The merveille du jour, which means "the wonder of the day".
Its' larvae feed on oak, and it flies in September-October.

Pretty guy and a nice fly...

A the noon fly, Mesembrina meridiana.
It lays eggs in cow dung, feeds on nectar and pollen, and is ovoviviparous.
It contributes to controlling the populations of other coprophagous insects.

Wader birdwatching is challenging and fun. Here is a red knot, already now in winter plumage.

A long time ago, in the analog time. Working digitally is such relief.
So what do you prefer photographing

Timing and depth of field 😎📷.
Thanks for asking. 🙏

Thank you for the repost 😊🙏

The besinning of the end of summer, and the flies survive

The beginning of the end of the summer is here, and the flies are the survivors.
There are 8000 fly species in Sweden, around 30% of all swedish insect species, but probably around 75% of the insect biomass.

Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci.

What is this?!
It is a Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci.
A 3mm long beetle and it can be found in oxeye daisies as here, but also a pest indoors.

Marseille and the view from St Charles Railway station.

Marseille is nice, but not Nice.

At Marseille Blancard, waiting for the train. A smell of Rosemary over the place, in the mild September night.

I put the dead Velvet wasp on a table, and in minutes a common wasp came and started dissecting it. Good for a comparison in size, a Velvet wasp is large, but not as large as a hornet wasp.

My first velvet wasp, Vespa velutina, probably not the last. It is a species expanding northward.
I found it dead, so could scrutinize it in detail.

And a nice sound observation of Roesel's bush-cricket, Roseliana roselli.
