Lunch Time (not feline related)

[PFVA]

Maybe it does not exactly qualify as a fluffy photo but i thought this fellow looked quite interesting on the way to his lunch.

Don't know if it's a related species but i found this one also during the hot days. They seem to have quite big eyes.

The second one looks like a "bush cricket"

Pretty Picture.

This one took refuge from the Saturday Storm on the inside of the glass door. Lckily for him by that time Teifi was sound asleep under the sofa cover and didn't wake up untill it was over and the little thing had left.

Its wings are so transparent that it's probably a great camouflage.

Hanging On

Sheltered from the occasional rain showers and the gusty winds

Not exactly the cutest being


Not exactly a giant macro but now i can see them better and bigger than in real life

This one looks a kind of cute whatever it is





I found those when walking on the pavement along empty lots

The Invasion

A bunch of quite small green beings about to have their breakfast.
(I have seen tons of those around)

I found this a kind of cute one, i think it's a caterpillar, when i was looking for flowers. He was quite small, that blue flower is about 2 cm in diameter and he was even smaller. I thought it was cute he had similar colours to the flowers.

Still finding small things and the higher temperatures keep bringing new varieties of those

Some colourful bugs, i haven't the slightest clue of what are they, and spiders on a rose. The house has been for sale for quite a while and the rose bush in the front yard is full of these

The above ones are aphids.

Found this one a few days ago, on the side of the road. It has a more interesting shape in the pic w/ the macro



This one came by today and i returned it outside before the feline would get a hold of him. I liked its wings.

I like that one, i haven't seen those around here.

I found this climber when checking for flowers. I didn't know they had fur ? in the back. Never saw those in California. The ones there are by the thousands but much smaller.



Those slightly big black ants are interesting but if i remember correctly from when i was a kid they can sting if one messes up with them. It doesn't kill but it's uncomfortable for a short while

[PFVA]

I'm still having fun with the camera and the insects

The big black ants are still around on those yellow flower things growing wildly



A micro spider, smaller than the little flowers in the lantana's clusters was starting to set its web. I had a hard time just to get the camera to focus on it.



A small wasp, i think it's a wasp even though i get the small bees and wasps confused quite often



Back in May, a regular wasp

A couple more "Insect's Lunch Time" scenes

A Bumble Bee having a feast on lantanas clusters. Bees were extinct or almost in this area (parts of the Iberian Peninsula) and had to be reintroduced. It's nice to see them around



Don't know what this one is. It has the colours of a was but the body shape is different. Gusty winds were blowing and everytime a strong one hit it flew away from the flower, protected by the debris, but then would go back to it
