Un mascle d'abella solitària Rhodanthidium sticticum. Una espècie estretament lligada a les closques de cargol buides, ja que són utilitzades tant per a la nidificació com per a refugiar-se quan les condicions meteorològiques són adverses.
In my first photos I was worried about enlarging insects as much as possible with heavy dedicated macro lenses. Until I realized that it was better to use a lens that would allow close focus and create a bokeh effect and shallow depth of field. Now I'm experimenting with the right background, color contrast, composition, etc.

Both the oxythirea funesta beetle and the Polygala flower are very photogenic. iPhone 15 Pro main camera + the lens of binoculars used as reading glasses for close focusing.
Tanto el escarabajo oxythirea funesta como la flor de Polygala son muy fotogénicos
Sowohl der Oxythirea funesta-Käfer als auch die Polygala-Blüte sind sehr fotogen
It was a relatively nice day, so I went out to take some photos. Here are some bugs I found. Not sure what the black fly is exactly, could be a mosquito, could be a kind of midge.
