'Fingerlicking good' The weather is pretty unpredictable this month here in Belgium so every now and then I find a cold motionless honey bee in the garden. I took this one inside to warm up and to give it some sugar water and released it as soon as it started flying again 😊 Species: Apis mellifera / Honey bee 📷 OM-1 Mark II - OM 90mm F3.5 - Godox V860iii - Cygnustech diffuser @omsystem.cameras @godox_global @cygnustech #macrophotography #honeybee #apismellifera #beesofinstagram #nature

This little ambush predator hunts by sitting perfectly still and grabbing prey with those powerful front legs. They don’t chase. They don't make a web. They just wait. And they are devastatingly good at it!

This beautiful little bee is a pretty rare sight here in Belgium, so you can imagine how happy I was to spot one in our herb garden a few days ago 🙏🏻 The females of this species look pretty dull and greyish, so this is most likely a male 😊 Species: Anthophora quadrimaculata / Four banded flower bee 📷 OM-1 Mark II - OM 90mm F3.5 - Godox V860iii - Cygnustech diffuser @omsystem.cameras @godox_global @cygnustech #macrophotography #naturephotography #bees #anthophoraquadrimaculata #fourbandedflowerbee

Love is in the air! I'm pretty sure this male ladybug isn't just giving his misses a backrub 😅 Have you already spotted two ladybirds 'getting it on'? 😃 Species: Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata / Sixteen spot ladybird 📷 OM-1 Mark II - OM 90mm F3.5 - Godox V860iii - Cygnustech diffuser @omsystem.cameras @godox_global @cygnustech #macrophotography #naturephotography #ladybugs #tytthaspissedecimpunctata #biodiversity

Solitary bees don’t make honey, don’t have a hive, and don’t get nearly enough credit. They’re among the most effective pollinators on the planet. Tiny. Tireless. Underrated.

It could be me, but this guy seems to have a fun personality! 😃 What do you think?

I found a ladybird with no spots! 🐞 This is Harmonia axyridis f. succinea — the Harlequin Ladybird — and this one is entirely spotless. The succinea form can carry anywhere from 0 to 22 black spots, making each individual genuinely unique. This blank canvas version is one of the rarest finds you can stumble across. Have you ever seen a spotless one? 👇 Species: Harmonia axyridis f. succinea — Harlequin Ladybird 📷 OM-1 Mark II | OM 90mm F3.5 | Godox V860iii | Cygnustech diffuser @omsystem.cameras @godox_global @cygnustech #macrophotography #ladybirdphotography #harmoniaxyridis #naturephotography #insectphotography

These rosemary beetles are not the most welcome of guests in the garden, but luckily their looks make up for it!
