Mikepércs: Macro shooting

This morning I go for small creatures in the meadow nearby:

A bumblebee is getting enmeshed in the cobweb of a wasp spider, ...:

... but escapes as soon as the spider gets close.

Mikepércs: Scarce Swallowtail

I set off towards the forest this morning searching for spring related themes.
Somewhere in the forest I find lots of yellow flowers, so I take a few shots of them:

Greater Celandine

A bug is peeping out from behind a blade of grass:

I'm trying to catch the bees that come to the flowers of a hawthorn bush when a scarce swallowtail lands to have a suck at the flower's nectar:

Mikepércs: Morning Macros

This morning I've had some time so I went out to the field nearby to take some macro shots.
The morning is cold, but the bugs start to wake up:

As soon as the sun starts to warm up the air the butterflies wake up as well:

Debrecen: Wasp Spider

I caught this Wasp Spider in the garden at sunset:

Mikepércs: Cross Spider

This morning I visited the meadow near the village, where I caught only this cross spider dealing with its prey:

A Morning Attempt

Today I went for macro photography to the meadow early in the morning.

At this hour it's still cold, so the insects are hidden or hanging numbly on the plants:

As the sun rises they start their day:

The sunshine is getting stronger quickly which is not favourable for photography, so I finish it soon.

Mikepércs: Small Creatures

Today at dawn I started for the meadow nearby focusing on macro photography.

I find the first theme by the beautiful lights of the rising sun:

Snail children are hanging on spears of the high grown grass:

Then on a musk thistle I notice an interesting beetle resting among the peaky leaves:

Later it starts chewing the leaves:

Going home I can see many insects on a thistle bush near the road, there are a few butterflies as well:

Mikepércs: Musk Beetle

Today I met this musk beetle. I started to take photos of it, but it didn't allow me to take too many shots as it flew away in a short time.

Mikepércs: Locusts

I noticed nowadays that locusts and grasshoppers are teeming in the meadow near the village. So I decided to go for them today afternoon after work:

I didn't manage to identify this species yet:

It's interesting that this grasshopper has the same colors as the plant it's hanging on. Unfortunately this specimen was missing it's right hind leg:

Túristvándi: Dragonflies

We spent 2 days in Túristvándi taking part on a water tour on river Öreg-Túr. The dragonflies  were very active near the water, I recorded some of them:
