Closeup image of an orange sulfur butterfly atop a clover flower. Orange sulfurs are yellow-green on their front wings with brown and white spots. Their eyes are yellow-green with darker spots. The back of the butterfly's wings is not visible but typically is orange and brown with dark and light markings. The butterfly is standing on the flower's florets and has its proboscis extended out and down into one of the open florets.

Possibly _Aeolothrips_, found on grasses at Scarborough Civic Centre. I think of thrips as plant pests, but this one apparently is a predator.

#bugstodon #insects #thrips #Thysanoptera #Aeolothripidae #macro

A tiny insect with a slim elongated body and dapper white and black banded wings, on a wide blade of some ornamental grass. Its small antennae are banded black and white too.
View from directly above, in slightly better focus. Its wings are soft like a fly's rather than hard casings over membranous underwings like a beetle's.

Been having a lot of fun with these new poses and taking snapshots so I look like a giantess, they're a great way to tease my friends & girlfriend.

My fursona is actually a macro, standing at around 400ft/122m tall, but this is primarily kept to roleplay and just using the camera like I have done here. But, roleplay is extremely fun for me, and being able to take snapshots of my avatar like this also brings me so much joy.

I will always content-warn images where something is suggestive or further, as per furry.engineer rules but even if that wasn't the rules, I'd still do it because I am considerate.

I hope you little ones enjoy the look at my panties up my skirt~

The small honeybee that I was tending to passed away later that evening. By the time I found her, she was already too far gone from what I can only assume was my neighbors' spraying of poisons in an attempt at a weed-free lawn.

I decided to make her my first preservation after I was absolutely sure that she had died.

This is (likely) Streptocarpus saxorum aka false African violet (both are in the same Genus). They produce flowers at the end of long, slender stems that cascade around the main plant. Mine has seen better days so I decided to start some new plants for a fresh start. Luckily they are easily propagated using fresh leaves & I've got three newbies that are making good progress ๐Ÿคž.

False African violet flowers are trumpet shape with a long cone that flares out to to five petal-like scallops at the end. Each flower has a small stem that connects it to the main stem. The flower are purple with purple markings at the entrance of the white interior. The leaves are tear-shaped, bright green, and have a fuzzy/hairy surface.

Even the bugs are enjoying the last warm rays of sunshine.

I couldn't leave my #orchard theme behind without posting a picture of some of our #produce. However, I couldn't decide whether to go with #apples or #pears, so I've ended up with both.
On the left, we have Russet apples, and those are Conference pears on the right.
'Russeting' is the "partial or complete coverage of a fruit with rough patches of greenish-brown to yellowish-brown colour". Both these varieties exhibit 'russeting'.

_Lasius_ nuptial flight in High Park the other day! The small bright yellow workers solicitously coax the winged reproductives out of the nest so they can take flight, mate, and found nests of their own.

These yellow ants have always creeped me out a bit. Their holes are very large, big enough to put your finger into, but the ants never seem to go in and out; they sit clustered just inside the entrance.

Apparently many _Lasius_ species live entirely underground tending root-feeding aphids and are only seen at the surface for nuptial flights. Maybe that's what I've been seeingโ€”the workers waiting to escort the alates out.

Apple tree leaves in autumn are a beautiful reminder of the changing seasons. As the days grow shorter and cooler, the tree begins to prepare for winter by sending nutrients back to its roots. This process also causes the leaves to lose their chlorophyll and reveal the other colour pigments that have always been present.

I liked the colours of this goldenrod leaf. It's a gall caused by the Carbonifera Goldenrod Gall Midge (Asteromyia carbonifera). The midge deposits an egg together with a certain fungus spore which causes the plant to grow the gall in which the larva develops.

Just published a new version of my declarative macro `match-commutative` to crates.io :awesome:

https://crates.io/crates/match-commutative

You are now able to specify an `if` guard expression at the end of the `match` arm, just like in std #Rust.

See the CHANGELOG for details:

African Violet # 3

Here's another one, from a bit of a different angle. I used an old 50 mm lens on 39 mm of extension again, and stacked 15 frames, concentrating on the central part of the flower only. For scale, these flowers are about the size of a quarter.

A close up photo of an African Violet. The flower is viewed from the side, with the pistil and anther in sharp focus, while the rest is blurred. The flower is a faded light purple with a matching colored pistil and three bright yellow anther. The surface of the flower petals appear to shimmer, and fine fibers can be seen along the edges of the base of the pistil and the edges of the petals. A second matching violet is facing away from the camera in the background of the image.
