I finally could motivate myself to look through some pictures from my last vacation in Sweden in May last year (yeah, I know...).
But I took this really nice picture of a #dragonfly (Ischnura elegans, I think?).
I was laying on the floor for some time and I think my non-biology friends had a great time, too, but for differrent reasons, obviously 😅
Definitely one of my favourite #insect pictures I took so far!

Picture of a dragonfly hanging upside down from a wooden beam. The dragonfly is greenish-blue in color with a bright blue spot at the tip of its abdomen.

I put slow-moving insects into the fridge prior to photographing them to slow them down. I showed the grandchildren an image of this Rove Beetle yesterday and there was GREAT excitement and squeals of delight when I told them I kept it in the fridge. Not so much when they saw it was only 3mm long. Amazing things, modern macro lenses! #Insect #Macro #Photography

A walk down memory lane now that Christmas orders are finished, posting some pieces that I have sold in the past. This little butterfly painting was very small, a miniature acrylic on mini canvas board.

🕷️🔬 An electron microscope image of Australian net-casting spider silk won the 2025 Royal Society Publishing #Photography Competition overall prize. The structure shows an elastic core wrapped in harder fibers that allow the spider to throw its net effectively, combining strength with stretchiness for ambush hunting.

While hiking in #Sedona, AZ, this guy suddenly ran onto the trail and almost got stepped on. We left him safe and alive after taking a few photos.

Eins aus einer 30-minütigen Session mit minütlich immer spektakuläreren Sonnenuntergangsfarben, bei denen ich partout nicht weiß, welches mir am besten gefällt. Das hier liegt aber ziemlich weit vorn.
