On the 7th of May 2015

avatar

Yesterday I published a post with some old photographs taken on the 5th of May 2015. Today, you'll see a bit of what was happening in my life two days later.

Here you can see the beautiful moth I photographed on the hill just outside my hometown. A kilometer or two from the house in which I live. In the following photograph ...

... the same insect is resting on the palm of my hand. This is the Arctia villica, a moth from the Erebidae family.

In this photograph, the moth has spread its wings showing the colorful part hidden in the previous two shots. A few seconds later, Arctia villica flew away.

This small larva was photographed in the same area. You can see the larval stage of the Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata in this shot.

I also picked a bunch of asparagus shoots and soft young fennel leaves on that occasion.

This small moth from the Geometridae family was photographed in the seaside area near the village of Liznjan, about four or five kilometers from where I live.

Epirrhoe alternata is the name of the species.

Here you can see the Helianthemum nummularium flowers.

In this photograph, a crab spider has caught a sawfly. I mean sawflies were mating when one of them got caught by the spider, so you can see a strange situation with two sawflies and the spider. I never came across a scene like this before or since the 7th of May 2015.

A minute later the more fortunate of the two sawflies flew away and the spider remained on the flower with just one prey.

On the dusty road near the sea, I photographed this spider from the Gnaphosidae family. Can't tell you the name of the species.

Here you can see a small moth from the Geometridae family, photographed among the flowers of the Spartium junceum shrub. While I was photographing the moth another, much smaller insect entered the scene. If you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, you may notice a small beetle caught in flight. I noticed the beetle only today while preparing the photographs for this post.

This young starling was photographed in Medulin, my hometown. Probably somewhere in my neighborhood.

Here you can see one of the cats that could be seen in my garden back then in 2015.

The cat was often resting among the young tomatoes planted in those days.

This bee, the Melecta luctuosa, was also photographed in my garden.

Meanwhile ...

... a pigeon was resting on the wire, high above the street.

This Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) was photographed in Liznjan, I think.

Yep. The end is near.

AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.

Such a beautiful butterfly: monochrome wings open with a juicy yellow color!

And the dove!! I do not really like them as representatives of birds, but the reflection, the overflow of feathers on the neck - bravo to the photographer !!

That Arctia villica was really lovely! What colors!
"a crab spider has caught a sawfly" caught my attention as I tried to make sense of it. Then I read further and realized what I was seeing.

It's nice to see butterflies on your hand. That larva scared me though. Makes me feel itchy.

A hand full of beautiful creatures. How they didn't fly when you tried to capture photos or how they sit on your hands, It's very rare to catch them and capture butterfly photos.

Sometimes they can be surprisingly quiet and docile.

The color of the moth's wings when closed looks very beautiful, and when the wings are open the mix of yellow and little spots really looks very impressive.
