Imagine you would be so small that you could meet up with someone on a leaf. Here you can see two ladybugs that meet each other on a leaf… I shot this image in summer some time ago. I have already several ladybug photos on my blog but there can´t be enough and I like to expand my collection. I think they are very beautiful. Continue reading Meeting On A Leaf
When I was in the garden, I accidentally lost a small piece of my pancake. It didn´t take much time until a whole army of ants came along to get something from the piece. Ants are pretty interesting creatures. I love their team spirit. You usually see just a few ants first but then they run back to call the whole team. I really like how they work together. I saw several documentaries about them and they are one of my favorite insects. But they are sadly too tiny to make perfect photos of them with my digital camera. But … Continue reading Hungry Ants
I shot the image some days ago with my point and shoot camera but I had some luck because the fly on the wall didn´t react well when I came closer with my camera. Not sure what was wrong with this fly because they do usually escape if you are too close and you know what kind of reaction they have. But this fly was very slow maybe ill, so that I was able to take this close-up shot with my digital camera. I like this image anyhow. It´s a good one for my insects photo collection.

I did add an amount of sharpening with Adobe Lightroom to fix this a little bit at least. What I love about ants is that they are team players and they have … Continue reading Ant Power And Teamwork
This is a shot by coincidence. I tried to get a photo of the plant but I noticed at home that there was a wasp hidden in the plant. Good surprise I think. Continue reading Hidden Wasp
I got this snapshot from the husband of my mother. He worked and the fly landed on his arm. I am not sure if I already have a photo of a fly on my blog. It might be but after so many articles, I can´t be sure anymore. Anyway, I collect photos of insects and a fly should be in the collection as well. Continue reading The Fly Landed
