Compound eyes of Hybomitra sp. male

Hi The barely colored compound eyes are fascinating, I could not find ocellus clearly. In this species the compound eyes are very close, like in T. autumnalis (?), but I limit myself in the determination of the gadfly to the genus Tabanus. The specimen had a body length of 20mm. https://up.picr.de/4...

Re: China Blue again - studio style

Hi
In Switzerland we call it "Lerchensporn" (larkspur).
It is a plant I know, but only your first three pictures blow me away!

A pleasure to enjoy the pictures.

Re: Table for macro rig

Hi Leander I don't understand the point of this. Since the table is so heavy, it vibrates as much as the floor. But the table with about 100kg is very light compared to the concrete floor (with about 1000kg?). If the heavy floor moves then the light table moves as well. The table will not settle dow...
