Hi fam, have a fulfilling day : ) The night is lazybones's darling. I did some target practicing with an #azalea and blue light, the photos are cropped but not further edited: low budget #photography. #sharingisthenewlearning #FlowersOfBluesky #bloomscrolling #macrophotography #PhotographyIsArt
Great post by Bree @xobreex3.bsky.social who thinks of the visually impaired and uses #ALText:
#inclusion is #fairness : )
Here is my contribution to #BlueskyMonday and #MacroMonday.

Birch. Taken using a macro lens and stack many pictures together.

The mimics and the mimicked. Note how the spider and the beetle not only are reddish brown with black at posterior end but they both have two white perpendicular dashes that separate these colors. These white dashes probably make them look like they have a waist like the carpenter ant.
I observed these today on a hike at a local state park. Species names are in the alt tags.
Saw a very orange sawfly today. Apparently he is Pamphilius

Abusing tools at hand to catch this tiny fly on a daisy.
OM-3, 12-45mm f4 with a cheap 10 diopter macro adapter @ 45mm, f11, 1/400s, 15x frame in-body focus stacking.
This cute jumping spider (#Carrhotus xanthogramma) loves warm places. In Germany it is only found in the southern half of the country.
I bring you some exciting news...
I'VE DISCOVERED THE FIRST EVER GIANT SPRINGTAILS IN CHRISTCHURCH CITY!
The closest known populations before this were at Arthur's Pass, but now we can add the Port Hills to their distribution map.
Definitely my proudest observation from last week's iNaturalist City Nature Challenge.
AlinaHagen @alinagrafik.bsky.social shared another stunning capture for the #BlueskyArtshow theme #Green. Here is my contribution.

The silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) is a species of small, primitive,[1] wingless insect in the order Zygentoma (formerly Thysanura). Its common name derives from the insect's silvery light grey colour, combined with the fish-like appearance of its movements. The scientific name (L. saccharinum) indicates that the silverfish's diet consists of carbohydrates such as sugar or starches. While the common name silverfish is used throughout the global literature to refer to various species of Zygentoma, the Entomological Society of America restricts use of the term solely for Lepisma saccharinum.[2]
Description
The silverfish is a nocturnal insect typically 13–25 mm (0.5–1.0 in) long.[3] Its abdomen tapers at the end, giving it a fish-like appearance.[4] The newly hatched are whitish, but develop a greyish hue and metallic sheen as they get older.[5] It has two long cerci and one terminal filament at the tip of the abdomen between the cerci. It also has two small compound eyes, although other members of Zygentoma are eyeless, such as the family Nicoletiidae.[4][6]
The silverfish, like other species in Apterygota, is wingless.[4][7] It has long antennae, and moves in a wiggling motion that resembles the movement of a fish.[8] This, coupled with its appearance and silvery scales, inspires its common name. Silverfish can regenerate lost terminal filame](https://eupolicy.social/system/cache/media_attachments/files/114/455/577/650/240/717/small/89831c0cea24f086.jpeg "source (\"Quelle\" in German): https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1445691-Lepisma-saccharinum
