Eike S.

🔎 This isn't even my final form! ...but its the guy behind the camera. Greetings! 👋🏼 I'm a graphic designer from Germany with a big passion for macro photography. The search for new wonderful and strange little critters never ends; so this profile serves as a reallife Pokedex. WARNING: Image 1 may contain traces of Photoshop. Handle with care! Image 2 above shows my partner for this shoot, the tiger beetle, in all its glory. It may look smaller here than in the profile picture, but that's insignificant. Feel free to stay in touch and discuss about new wonderful and rare findings deep in the woods. Cowabunga! #remscheid #insect #insects #insectsofinstagram #macrophotography #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection

„Kugelspringer beobachten ist für mich das Macro-Highlight, nachdem die Pilzsaison geendet hat. So konnte ich letzten Winter diese beiden Miniatur-Kühe beim Grasen erwischen und auch sogleich noch ein gescheites Bracketing auf die Reihe bekommen. Es ist immer wieder faszinierend, in welchen Farb- und Musterkombinationen diese kleinen Wesen zu finden sind!“ 📸: @stackbeetle_photo (Top32-Platzierung beim Tierfoto des Winters 2025/26) F9 | 1/160 sek | ISO 200 | 100mm Sony Alpha 6700 | Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Makro GM | Raynox-250 Linse Aufgenommen im Dezember 2025 im Remscheider Stadtteil Mixsiepen 🦊 Das Tierfoto des Winters 2025/26 wird gesponsert von PureRAW 6 – 20% Rabatt auf die Entrauschungs-Software mit Code NATUR20 (nur bis zum 22.

Expedition to Olymp: Tiny Giants of Corfu (26) My journey through the insect world of Corfu is almost over. Just before we leave, we spot Oxythyrea funesta. It’s a day-active flower visitor, feeding on pollen, petals, and reproductive parts of plants. This makes it a double-edged player: on one hand, it contributes to pollination; on the other, it can damage flowers, especially in high numbers. 🗓 05/2025 📍🇬🇷 Corfu 📷 Sony a6700 @sonyalphadeutschland 🔭 90mm f2,8 Macro G OSS 🔦 Godox v860III @godox_global 💡@ak_diffuser

Expedition to Olymp: Tiny Giants of Corfu (25) Like all weevils, they carry the characteristic elongated snout (rostrum), which houses their mouthparts. It’s a precision tool, used to scrape and feed on leaves. Many species, especially in the genus Polydrusus, prefer trees like birch, hazel, or oak. They’re mostly active in spring and early summer, often sitting exposed on leaves despite their bright color. The reason: their shimmer blends surprisingly well with sunlit foliage — a form of dynamic camouflage that works through reflection rather than concealment. 🗓 05/2025 📍🇬🇷 Corfu 📷 Sony a6700 @sonyalphadeutschland 🔭 90mm f2,8 Macro G OSS 🔦 Godox v860III @godox_global 💡@ak_diffuser

Fireflies at the Ionian Sea at the coast of Corfu 🇬🇷

Expedition to Olymp: Tiny Giants of Corfu (24) Unlike many beetles that stay hidden, this species is fully exposed and diurnal, active right where the food is. The adults feed on cereal grains and grass seeds, often climbing onto seed heads and consuming the developing kernels. In high numbers, they can reduce yields, which is why they’re considered an agricultural pest in parts of southern and eastern Europe. 🗓 05/2025 📍🇬🇷 Corfu 📷 Sony a6700 @sonyalphadeutschland 🔭 90mm f2,8 Macro G OSS 🔦 Godox v860III @godox_global 💡@ak_diffuser

„Alle paar Jahre hat man mal diesen einen sonnigen wolkenlosen Tag im Winter, wo alles komplett weiß vereist ist. Diesen besonderen Moment wollte ich nicht verpassen und bin mit Drohne und Makro Setup zum Remscheider Eschbachtal gefahren. Die komplett weiß leuchtenden Bäume sowie ein komplett eingefrorener See waren schon die Show wert, aber eine gewisse kleine Moosgruppe, welche komplett mit Eis überzogen war, fiel mir sofort ins Auge. Somit habe ich mich dran gemacht und dieses Moos-Stacking erstellt.“ 📸: @stackbeetle_photo (Top16-Platzierung beim Naturfoto des Winters 2025/26) F9 | 1/160 sek | ISO 200 | 100mm | Stack aus ca. 30 Bildern Sony Alpha 6700 | Sony FE 100mm F2.8 Makro GM | Raynox-250 Linse Aufgenommen am Remscheider Eschbachtal im Dezember 2025 ❄️Das Naturfoto des Winters 2025/26 wird gesponsert von @cokin.france – Glasfilter und Filtersysteme für Naturfotograf*innen.
