"My favorite little things"
I hope my images make you feel true love for nature and all its creation.
Sweet sunset
I don't really know what kind of insect this is, it reminded the bombylius, but in black and small version :)
Calm waters
I tell you how I took this picture, although I know it will lose a lot of its charm: I took a cork oak bark with a concavity in the center (for me it was easy because in the area where I live there are many cork oaks). I looked for a baby snail, the size of a ladybug, and put him on some river stones. The water in movement is thanks to a hose ... and waited at dusk, which for me is the sweetest light to make macros ... and here the result, which I hope you like.
Tinkerbell
These little damselflies have always reminded me of fairies.
Stone Islands
There is not much to tell here, it is an ant visiting the Stone Islands, after touring them for the umpteenth time, she rested for a while, and I could take this picture, and then keep going around. I don't have to say it but I will, after the photo session, I returned her to her anthill. :)
Little wool-carder bee, sleeping.
This type of bee has the habit of resting when the sun goes down, clinging with its mandibles to the ends of twigs of shrubs. The name "wool-carder bee" comes from the fact that the females shave the hairy leaves of some plants with their mouths, collecting these plant fibers to line the nest cells, previously dug in the ground where they will lay their eggs. In the center of each small room she deposits pollen reserves, so that when the larva comes into the world it will have a soft and warm home full of food where it can grow. Isn't she lovely?
Wonderland by night
I missed meeting these little devils ... it was almost dark, and this young mantis was looking for something to eat.
Sweet flirtation
None of the insects I photograph suffer abuse or stress. I Photograph them in their natural habitat, trying not to invade or annoy them. They pose for me with the naturalness they have.
Twinkles
When I water the plants in my garden, puddles are made in the soil and wasps come to refresh themselves and drink water. The evening light was so beautiful that I lay down next to them to photograph them. I don't know if I was very reckless, but as they flew wildly around me they also ignored me, thank God!
Small miracles
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. -Albert Einstein-
Little hero
I can't help but feel tenderness when I see one of these little beings looking for a place to take refuge and spend the frosty nights. I hope you like it.
Tiny dancer
There is nothing sweeter than the rocking of a ladybird in the wild oats... and even more so, if you see it through the colors of the sunset.
