  1. After a busy week around many people at ESA's ESOC, I'm now paying the price – have come down with the lurgee, coughing & aching. Yuk 🤒

    Still, managed a tour of the garden this afternoon – didn't spot anything new, but at least this common tachnid (Tachina fera; 🇩🇪 Igelfliege) posed nicely for me.

  6. As we move into September, the sun is setting over the valley ever earlier, with this red admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta; 🇩🇪 Admiral) spreading its wings to catch the final warmth.

    I've been seeing them for the last six months & they're be among the last to go into hibernation as winter comes.

  7. The medium-sized bee fly has the rather dubious official scientific name of Villa hottentotta, or Hottentotten-Fliege in 🇩🇪

    Less offensive alternatives are its earlier name of Villa suprema, although another option, Anthrax flava, has its problems too.

    As seen at ESA's European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt today.

  8. I had a fascinating visitor today in my garden in the evening. She was laying eggs in the ground.

    I also made a video but I have to compress and cut it to be able to share it, so I will share it later.

  9. Ein Experte machte mich drauf aufmerksam, dass dies kein Großer, sondern ein Kleiner Blaupfeil ist. Erstnachweis im #Hochtaunuskreis. Und ich merk's nicht. Damit Euch das nicht passiert, achtet auf helle Flügelmale und breite "Schulterstreifen". t1p.de/ocoer

  10. 🤯🐛 Brazilian Treehopper: Nature's Most Bizarre Creation! 🤯

    Also known as the Bocydium globulare, it is a true marvel of nature. Its unique headgear is used for camouflage and defense, making it look like a tiny walking sculpture!

  11. Paraleptomenes miniatus miniatus.

    A smol potter #wasp which constructs tiny, tubular nests in, and around our cement and concrete domiciles.

    Move over #Arachtober.

    #Wasptober is where it's at!

  12. Befriended a #stonefly in the backyard today. We just have a small pond but hopefully this is an auspicious sign of a healthy #ecosystem
