What creatures did I find in my garden yesterday (6 macros)
I selected six macro captures to present today, all from the last week, and were taken in my garden. Look what cretures I have encountered; 2/3 of them still stay unidentified.
Near the terrace we keep a small plantation of daisies - they attract various flying insects and allow me from time to time to get successful macro photographs.
Возле террасы у нас есть небольшая плантация ромашек - они притягивают насекомых и позволяют мне (иногда) получать удачные макро-фотографии.
This is a known evil -- bee-eating beetle or simply Bee beetle. If you think it's a cute little bug that landed on a daisy to feast on its nectar, you're wrong! It lays its eggs at this spot which bees used to visit, to infect them. Life is deceiving!
A lonely fly spies on the sexual play of other flies - perhaps it's jealous? Could not identify the flies above, but the 3rd one is Marsh Snipefly, which is pretty common insect for Europe area.
A tiny bug with golden-brown spine was pasturing on unripe raspberry. I identified it as a rough-haired lagria beetle. (Alternative common names include
the hairy beetle, hirta beetle, and hairy fungus beetle). (A cropped close-up version.)
This one found a cool place to hide among the strawberry leaves. No idea of the certain specie... one of shieldbugs variety, I assume?
My post goes for Photofeed #macro photo challenge, Round 178

Lovely! Your bottom bug is a nymph so it's not easy to identify at this stage, many hemiptera look the same as nymphs
You know your bugs, too?!
But of course 😅
I'll just say it's beautiful, Carl!
Cool shots, but my favorite bit of this is envisioning your plantation of daisies!
