  1. If you have a black cherry loaded with spindle-shaped leaf galls, keep your eyes peeled for the omnivorous caterpillar that feeds on them, the cherry gall azure (Celastrina serotina). #lepidoptera #galls #prunus #butterflies #lycaenidae #entomology #insects inaturalist.org/observations/8

  2. Welcher Bläuling könnte das sein? Der Falter zeigte nicht seine Flügeloberseiten, die eher wenig blau erschienen. Die Blüten der Erdbeerminze interessierten ihn sehr.

    This is the best I could do with the MP-E. These ladies don't appreciate visitors and it was a breezy day.

    I will have to try to find more of these with a wider lens. Any suggestions on good cheap wide angle macro for R mounts?
