In the picture little child chewing gum BerndBae makes it look as if the fly has chewing gum in its mouth and is about to blow a bubble out of it. In fact, this phenomenon is called digestive bubble and is observed in various insects. The exact reason for this behavior has not yet been conclusively clarified.

In terms of design, the composition leaves nothing to be desired. Soft lighting highlights the fine details of the insect’s body and the texture of the wood on which the animal sits provides structure.

On the picture the world is upside down With Herme1 you can find several small parallel worlds. The drops in which the house is reflected look like different universes that exist side by side. The photographer had to look very closely to see these details. The soft color gradient in the background isolates the main subject and thus highlights it.

The photographer says: “This photo was taken in weather that was unfavorable for photographers. At first it was humid and the planned insect macros did not work. After heavy rain, it was dripping everywhere. A branch, weighed down by several drops hanging down in the viewfinder image, with my camera I discovered a world ‘vomited’ in the drops!”

“Since mid-April, I have been going to a moor lake in the Burgwald every weekend to experience the progress of the vegetation and to be able to catch the first dragonflies early. In addition to my telephoto lens, I also took my EF 100 mm macro lens with me. “When I sat near a bush for a while to eat, I noticed some leaves of the bush that were covered with small insects,” reports Burkhart Schaaf (BS_MR) about his photo with the caption Scene at the meeting place,

You have to look twice to see all the little insects otherwise you will only see their black legs.

Sunbathing The top one from bild0815 impresses with its extremely sharp image of a yellow dragonfly. This color matches perfectly with the green and pink, creating a seamless transition in the background. From the legs to the fine hairs, the details of the animal’s long body are easy to see and are fascinating when you look closely.

This photo was obtained by combining about 30 images Young Grasshopper 2 By Khan. Here too, it is the details that inspire, but not only the details on the animal’s body. The drops on the plant are an element that enlivens the image and also highlights the animal. Especially the yellow color of the legs draws attention and draws the viewer’s attention.

The photographer says of his approach to photographing such motifs: “To capture young grasshoppers in the early morning, you have to get up early. As a nice side effect, the photos usually contain water droplets. Most of the time I see them I don’t see any grasshoppers when I reach the slope. I always stop somewhere and keep looking around until I see one. In this case, a small dark spot on a blade of grass turned out to be a meaningful motif upon closer inspection.”

A tiny ladybug climbs up a blade of grass, according to the caption from gallery photographer IgFocused bow one’s head in joy. The red shell of the animal is a splash of color on a dark background, contrasting with the green and pink of the plant. The stem of the flower also leads the eye through the composition to the main motif. All this evokes feelings of spring.

Our photo week began with a fly and a fly This is the ending by Karl-Peter Herbolzheimer. This specimen appears to be drinking the remains of the last rain. This is beautifully framed by the dark surroundings and a blurred plant in the foreground, which gives the composition additional depth.
