Little tendernesses
I recently read an article from the University of California, in collaboration with the University of Bristol, that had done some experiments with insects, and concluded that they have feelings.
Possibly this sounds like a joke to many people, but we must remember that until a few years ago, we believed that some human races were not human and that mammals did not have feelings either... the family grows.
I hope I can share with you the feeling of tenderness that these little beings awaken within me.

Short break
I like to photograph insects at dusk, because they look for quiet places to spend the night, and they make it easier for me to photograph them.
Here I show you the little and adorable skipper.

Home, sweet home
This beefly (Bombylius), I felt it was adorable, until I read that it lays its eggs in the nests of mining bees, and its larvae feed on bee larvae. I know we all have our own way to survive in this fierce world, and we must respect the ways and means to do it, but for me there are categories, and I feel more sympathy for the bees than for these beautiful stuffed animals... but we must let life take its course.

Please do not disturb
Small checkered beetle sleeping at dusk.
It is native to the Mediterranean area, so if you live far from the Mediterranean don't be depressed if you don't see it in your garden :)
It is a small-medium sized hairy beetle with a shiny blue or black head and scutellum. I found the blue one, I think it is nicer than the black one.

Just spread your wings... and fly away
I could say that I looked for this angle of the ladybug just before taking its flight, but it was not like that. I tried to make a portrait of her, and just before shooting turned around, spread her wings and flew away.
My little flower princess
Maybe there are butterflies more beautiful than this one, but if you let me choose, I keep this little guy ... I feel that the beauty of this butterfly lies in her simplicity.
A little star whispers
I took this photo early last fall. People say that autumn is the second spring. And although the fields are not full of showy flowers, there are a few wallrocket, enough for nature to offer this last batch of butterflies before winter arrives.
Little dragon
Geckos, also called little dragons, are nocturnal animals, but a few evenings ago I had the great luck to find this beauty in my garden.
Maybe not my best photo (I know), but when I saw him, I ran home to get my camera and he was still in the puddle created by watering the plants. We were both very surprised, it was the only and maybe not the best angle I could take of him, but simply for the joy of finding him, is why I decided to share this image.
I hope you can see how beautiful he is.
