Such a beautiful bird
Amazing scene! That must have been great to watch. Less so to hear!
A handsome boi!
So mossy. It's beautiful!
"Did they see me? Naaah. I am perfectly hidden behind this tall grass!"
Such a beautiful area. I love that golden light.
All I can find is this: https://askentomologists.com/2015/02/25/through-the-compound-eye/ (and it's pretty interesting, tbh)
I saw php error logs cause a full disk in a few minutes (thankfully on a shared dev server), thanks to an accidental endless loop that just flooded everything with a wall of notices...
And, working with a CMS that allows third-party plugins that don't bother to catch exceptions, aggressive web crawlers are not a good thing to encounter on a weekend... 1 exception x 400000 product pages makes for a loooot of text.
Beautiful picture, I love that foot in the air. Also, what a gorgeous plumage.
I'll be readying the popcorn. From the bottom of my heart, good luck.
It comes with a PWA that works well enough.
Oh, she is not!
She goes into the Hell Bag for roughly 15 minutes a month, the time it takes to get her monthly Old Kitty Medicine (which comes as a jab).
She earned the Hell Bag (aka bathing bag) after requiring sedation and injuring her Human during the first home visit from the vet. Totally unrelated, but her teeth are in remarkably good, pointy, stabby condition for a 14 year old cat.
Wallonia, Belgium, today.
I stumbled upon a plant covered with small bundles of aphids, and sure enough, upon closer inspection, it had a whole aphid farming operation going on, and ladybugs had found it.
The ant tried blocking the way but fell off. Hopefully it's okay somewhere. The aphids, unfortunately, will not be.
It later decided to make a fresh web, but with the sun on the wrong side so that wasn't ideal:
Trying out my new camera and lens. I didn't expect getting such good results with no practice on the R7, but it does 99% of the job.
Edit: Halictus scabiosae, identified through observations.be with 99% certainty.
What am I looking at? Except a very industrious little worker?
How do I go about figuring it out? Is there some reliable site that would allow me to refine by stripes and such? Thanks.
This is Wallonia, Belgium. I got a new camera, which allows me to get much more detailed entirely useless pictures! I was one with the bees for an entire hour, came home with 500 pictures, and this is the only photo I got of this one. The stripe pattern struck me, with the very sharp lines, but I have no head, no thorax, no nothing...
Wavre, Belgium, today ♥ I knew there were chaffinches in town, I hear their calls on the regular, but I hadn't managed to see one up close yet.
I promise not to spam this community with random pics, but I adore common blues, and was delighted when I stumbled upon this. I somehow never see them in pairs. I figured I'd share!
