Any bug photos during August 2015

They remind me Pinocchio I like #2.

Here are a couple of second rate Weevil shots which I have uploaded elsewhere while asking for an identification check. However I thought they might be of some general interest.





The group kept moving around and I was getting some over exposure areas from the sunshine.

This individual was in shadow but even with under exposure I struggled to deal with its reflective surface. Those settings also produced a rather long shutter speed and plenty of shadow noise.

Incidentally, I'm suspecting they might be Hypera pollux but I'm not very experienced with weevils.

Nice shots David, Mark and Geoff.

Have not been shooting the small things lately but man I have been bitten by some.

Cheers Izzie, much appreciated pal

Thank's Binnur, if only it was that easy

[deetheturk]

Well captured Geoff, in difficult lighting!

[deetheturk]

Cheers Jim, they do like a bite at us

Nice flies David, not sure if anyone has said that to you before

this was for fun the Soldier beetle, Rhagonycha fulva, I believe, took ages to get to the top. I am sure it felt it got a better take off from there

[marlunn]

Geoff, Love the Weevils, yep you are right Binnur, they do remind you of Pinnichio dont they

[Geoff F]

Showing the whole plant head plus beetle perched on top works well, Mark.

They do seem to like climbing; when not more involved in mating! Even then, they wander around all over flowers etc.

Looks okay my end John, have seen this happening on other posts though!

Yep I'm seeing the video clip of some sort of boxing contest.

[Cantab]

Yep I'm seeing the video clip of some sort of boxing contest.

No video clip here in Canada. This problem with Tinypics is really erratic and weird!

I link some from my P base site, Brian.

Copy the appropriate link and then paste into place using the photo frame icon from the toolbar here.

Some other photo sites can also be linked like this.

Or there is the old method of creating a gallery in CinC and linking from there. But file size is more limited that way.
