 A week ago my wife and I checked our summer house to prepare it for the season; and -- look who was sitting at its porch; we were truly excited to encounter such a handsome (and big! 7-8cm in size) moth:  <div class="pull-left"><p> Google helped to identify it. The name is 'Red Peacock Eye' <i>(Aglia tau)</i>, its a nocturnal moth from the <i>Aglia</i> family. The distinctive spots on its wings shaped in the form of the Greek letter "tau" make it quite memorable. The description provided this interesting fact: adults do not feed themselves (they have a vestigial proboscis), but live off the reserves accumulated during the caterpillar stage. </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> Гугль помог мне определить ее имя: Павлиноглазка рыжая (Aglia tau) — ночной мотылек из семейства павлиноглазок. Пятна на крыльях в форме греческой буквы "тау" делают его запоминающимся. Интересный факт: взрослые особи не питаются самостоятельно (у них рудиментарный хоботок), а живут за счет запасов, накопленных на стадии гусеницы. </p></div> ---------  <div class="pull-left"><p> Among the branches of a rose hip, I spotted two ladybug making love. (Make love! Not war!) They considered they'd found a secluded, shaded spot, hehe — but no, I found them anyway. In fact, nature has already come alive: I saw two butterflies, one dragonflies, several frogs, snails — but their numbers and, accordingly, their frequency of occurrence are still low.</p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> B кустах шиповника я заметил двух божьих коровок делающих любовь. (Делайте любовь! не войну!) Они думали что нашли укромное, затененное место, хехе - но я все равно их нашел. На самом деле, природа уже ожила: я видел бабочек, стрекоз, лягушек, улиток - но количество и соответственно "встречаемость" пока невелико. </p></div> ---------  A few more macros from the same day. May is for the May lillies... <div class="pull-left"><p> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/23xARNz54erbtK2xLNNAjjw7xrhvntfLrSD7LZpA6eUYcgXZ9TCaqGeY8JJSzTxTmJQCP.jpg </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/23tm6rtLkwyFXieL33pYgcAHSJ6w55FjbvNjyZwqzWXkKLqsAQiaT3Kt5xwQbmuEfDcz3.jpg </p></div> --------- ...and dandellions are available till November (believe me or not, but once I saw a blooming dandellion even in December, topping over a wet snow!)  Two our apple trees were in full bloom too.  The horsetails have already finished their blooming phase.  <div class="pull-left"><p> Parts of the soil did not turn into green (yet). I was looking for fungi growing on spruce cones (a tempting subject for macro photography), but found a slightly bigger editions; I almost crushed the first one with my foot and only accidentally noticed the second one. They blend perfectly with the color of the fallen spruce needles. </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> Я искал микроскопические грибы на еловых шишках (манящий сюжет для макро-фотографии), но нашел два других гриба; почти раздавил ногой первый из них - и только случайно заметил второй. Они идеально сливаются с цветом опавшей хвои. </p></div> ---------  <div class="pull-left"><p> By the way, notice the small white spot – that's a bite! The fungus already has been eaten... My guess it was a snail or a slug (I've already spotted all of them in the area). Apparently, after a test bite, it wasnt considered tasty (thats true: this specie is not poisonous, but not edible either). </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> Кстати! обратите внимание на небольшое белое пятно - это след от след от укуса 😉 гриб уже начали поедать... могу предположить что это улитки или слизняки (я уже видел и тех и других). Видимо, после "пробного укуса" гриб был сочтен не вкусным (это правда - он не ядовитый, но и не съедобный). </p></div> ---------  <div class="pull-left"><p> The second one may look very different, but it's undoubtedly the same species. That's the thing that excites me most about fungi: how two editions of a same species can grow into completely different shapes. </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> Второй гриб выглядит совершенно иначе, но это без сомнения тот же самый вид! Именно это мне так нравится в грибах: два экземпляра того же вида могут вырастить совершенно разные формы. </p></div> --------- And the last one, to round up the blog. I shoot the nature's doing the job on decomposing of iron rubbish. The pictures of decay are appealing and irresistible!  <table class="wp-block-table"><tbody><tr> <td>location:</td> <td>Vyritza, Russia</td> <td>May 2025</td> <td>natural light</td></tr> <tr> <td>camera/lens:</td> <td>Canon 5dm3</td> <td>Sigma 150mm</td> <td>raw-conv</td></tr> <tr> <td>f/2.8</td> <td>t 1/125</td> <td>ISO 125</td> <td>-- </td></tr> </tbody></table>  ###### <center>All images taken by me, copyright (c) @qwerrie</center> ###### <center>My posts at [worldmappin](https://worldmappin.com/@qwerrie)</center> ###### <center>Thanks for visiting my blog!</center>
