This picture was taken in the Parco Martiri della Libertà in the village of Bellagio on the shores of lake Como, while on vacation in Italy. I noticed this little Leptoglossus occidentalis having a rest on the edge of a low-hanging branch of a very old and beautiful conifer, and took a photo.
No, don't be afraid. Don't let the colors fool you, it's just a fly. It doesn't even have a sting!
Amidst a thistle’s spines, an assassin bug (Reduviidae) struck. Its proboscis pierced a shield bug (Pentatomidae), liquefying its insides. Once armored, the shield bug hung limp. The thistle swayed, indifferent. Nature is neither cruel nor kind the cycle of predator and prey continued.

While sitting in the garden of our summer house in July, I came across this tiny visitor on the wall and immediately grabbed my phone to take a photo.
During my recent trip to Brazil, I was mesmerized by the incredible fauna, especially the glittering insects. This photo captures the most dazzling one I've encountered—*Evenus regalis*. I still can't get over the fact that it landed on my hand right after I snapped this shot!
Producer of the famous Eirete (bee honey), these bees are called Jatei and belong to the genus Tetragonistica sp. These small pollinators lack a stinger and are extremely important both for native fauna and for medicine, as the honey they produce is widely marketed due to its attributed medicinal.
It took me three years to learn how to look to see the beauty in all living things. Now I can finally see the terrifying beauty in the eyes of a Dragonfly. It's fascinating.
Insect hunting in winter is like a treasure hunt. You don't know if you'll find anything and you don't know where. If you find something, like this overwintering community of Carabus auronitens, then you have found a wonderful treasure in the most dazzling colors that nature has to offer.
The European hornet (Vespa crabro) is a large, social wasp species. Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, it has been introduced to North America. It has a distinctive brownish-yellow body with orange-yellow markings.
He was resting on the window stool, he patiently posed for me to capture him. Then I thought of opening the window and he said goodbye. One of the most ambitious macro-mobile photography in my life.

This fantastic Damselfly waiting for me at university. I saw it looking for me beyond the window and I was so excited.
Vanessa Cardui, whom I encountered while walking in the park on a summer day. He immigrated from Africa to Turkey and left me a wonderful souvenir photo. This is truly magnificent.
Empusa mantises, which can survive the harsh winter that is difficult for most insects, welcome us in spring with their mystical appearance as adults.
Beezy bee comes from the saying "busy as a bee". I was on the field for a school activity and noticed this busy little bee on a corn flower. It's pre-occupied on collecting pollen as seen on its legs, so I took the opportunity for the once in a life time photo op with this important pollinators.
I noticed this beauty while walking around the bean field and it noticed me, we are astonished
Carabus scabrosus was one of the insects that I did not recognize and was afraid of when we first met. (As with most people). But our second encounter was unforgettable for me. I now have a bug that I was afraid of and it's incredibly exciting! :)
A photo that exudes both peace and uncertainty. This little mantis is calmly posing in the fullness of the night—what could it be looking at? Could it be that it's running late for its Kung Fu classes?
Seen on a trail in Mashpe reserve Ecuador. Was struck by the yellow head contrasting with the shiny, dark blue body on the green leaf of grass. Genus Cyphomyia.
Bei Heuhüpfer weiss ich nie, wer sich mehr erschreckt. Der Hüpfer vor mir oder ich, wenn er springt. Das war der erste, der still hielt, ein ruhender Schreck.
A bush cricket from the Tettigoniidae family that I found among the plants in my garden on a spring day and the beauty of its color.

This photo was taken in Sicily where I visited the Archeological site Eraclea Minoa. While there was not much left of the ancient buildings, nature was still thriving. All kinds of insects were present and I felt like I was able to travel back in time via the ruins but also via nature.
Noticed this moth on my Irises and caught an image with good color and contrast
A wonderful meadow grasshopper that I encountered on my way to the forest, which I frequently visit for observation, on a summer day. Their antennae dance in harmony in the wind.

Außerdem eine eigene Schönheit haben.

An insect that died and was preserved in the salty sands of the Salt Lake
Noticed this katydid on furniture at Mashpe Lodge in Ecuador. Could be an undescribed species in the Genus Tropicophyllum.
If I'm not mistaken, one summer morning, I came across this tiny beauty, a shield bug. I was capturing its amazing poses when—what did I see? This beauty had just taken off its pajamas, meaning its exoskeleton... its skin! And this was the result.
When we go to the forest, I usually try to pick up the litter around. One day, we went to Belgrad Forest, and I collected the trash I found. When I saw this stag beetle, I thought that the forest gave me something in return. It was wonderful. The first stag beetle I saw in my life.
Two red bugs couldn't escape my camera while making love. May you have plenty of babies!
Found walking a trail in Mashpe Reserve Ecuador
This hemipteran, belonging to the genus Cyphonia and related to cicadas, is also known as a membracid. It is characterized by having a large pronotum that extends across almost the entire body, thus taking on various interesting shapes.
These lovebirds - better yet, lovehoppers - were the sole residents of Klek. At the summit of 1,181 meters, they seemed entirely unbothered by my unexpected intrusion. Though I’m usually preoccupied with 8 -legged creatures, this time, it was insects that captivated me - not just because of 12 legs!
I found myself walking along the railings on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.
This moth of the species Palpita flegia, commonly known as the satin white moth due to the iridescence present in its scales, is like a small bluish-white ghost that roams gardens at night and helps pollinate various plant species.
Not an insect, but a very curious jumping spider. Look at the way those big eyes look! It doesn't seem too scared of my huge body next to it's.
When I saw a beautiful flower and a bee in the garden of our summer house on Turkey's western coast, I wanted to capture the moment by taking a photo
Two insects, captured in my frame at the very beginning of their life cycles, stand as symbols of transformation. One of them, simply existing in this world, seems to be smiling at us. Will you choose to remain a caterpillar or embrace the metamorphosis into a butterfly?
Noticed crane flies flying in a few drenched meadow. Managed to find one that stayed still
For photo.
While walking through a grassland, I encountered this small grasshopper nymph, possibly belonging to the species Conocephalus saltator.
A very beautiful white praying mantis with sharp nails
The Autumn Weaver
Upon a branch, so bare, so thin,
A spider spins her web again.
With silver thread, so fine, so bright,
She weaves her lace in autumn light.
One autumn day, we were walking among the trees, enjoying the beauty of the forest. As we passed through its depths, a object caught our eye on the dry grass. We couldn't believe that such a creature lived in this forest, but there it was—smiling at us. The Red-Tailed Caterpillar."
The fluffy bumblebee is having it's lunch. It's hard not to pet it's feathers.
