I have a larva for you!🤗

Sun beetle 🌞,
Pachnoda marginata peregrina

It's a species of flower chafers 🌸 (a group of scarabs) from west and central Africa. The larvae are called grubs.
I sometimes feed them to my animals.
Very rich food! 😋

A flower for you! 😊

Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) enjoying the sun 🦋🌞

Normally they always fly away 😆

Just my harmless blue eyes.😇
These are two crops of the same photo. Viewed individually, looking at them feels quite different.

Ichneumon wasp,
Ophion obscuratus

I found this male in the house last night and brought him back outside. It's a nocturnal parasitic wasp species. Females look for caterpillars and inject one egg per host. The caterpillars remain alive until the wasp larva reaches its final instar. The adults feed mainly on plant sap and nectar and continue enjoying their lives. This species is one of the few that fly around even in winter. It's distribution area includes the entire Palearctic and Indomalaya.

Some representatives of the ichneumon wasps (not this one) carry a special virus in their genome and use it to produce virions, which after injection influence the host's behavior, metabolism and immune system.

Nothing is as constant as eternal change. Perfection is a state that cannot be attained, but must be striven for. Form follows function.

Short-haired sloth 👽

My furry friend, so grumpy and cute! 😄

I always enjoy the beautiful Taunus 😊
