0.000 HBD🦎 Springtime Wonders 🐞 A Closer Look at the Fascinating Insects of the Season 📸
### Spring has arrived! With it comes warmth, bright colors of lush greenery, melodious bird songs, and, of course, a bunch of tiny insects. It's hard to imagine spring without them. We often love them for being slow and sluggish, allowing us to get closer to observe or snap photos. **While I've managed to capture a few early flowers for International Women's Day, today's collection is all about insects!** --- **Vanessa indica** of the **Nymphalidae** family is known for its unique eye-like markings on its wings, which may help it deter predators.  **[Lucanus cervus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucanus_cervus) or the European [stag-beetle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stag_beetle)** can grow up to 100+ mm in length! ||| |-|-| ||| --- Here's a **swallowtail caterpillar** feasting on our parsley bed. After eating its fill, it cocooned itself and has already spent the winter in a jar. By the way, don't forget to release it soon!  **Swallowtail caterpillars**, like the one shown here, are known for their striking coloration and the ability to mimic bird droppings as a defense mechanism. --- A little proud **cricket** resting on a woman's finger...  *Did you know that crickets can actually "hear" through tiny ears on their front legs!*🦎 --- And, of course, the **beautiful green maple leaves** under which all this wildlife loves to dwell.  **So next time you're out enjoying the spring weather, take a closer look at the critters around you. They may surprise you with their fascinating features and behaviors!** --- ##### Thank you for your attention! ### Peaceful skies to all✌️ <center> https://images2.weku.io/DQmdT7r8GAkTWU9dUyi912wvbH4Gizy2UB4LjBFkqUaCuFb/signature5c263f9875c38.gif </center>
