Regimbartia attenuata is a fascinating species of water scavenger beetle that has a remarkable ability to escape from the digestive systems of frogs. It can actively escape from the vent of the frog Pelophylax nigromaculatus via the digestive system by stimulating the frog’s gut to promote excretion.
Taken 2022 10th September, this was a kite-tailed robberfly (Tolmerus atricapillus), possibly female. In Sweden, they occur wherever there is open habitats or woodland edges. They're active hunters often seen during the summer. Name comes from the tip of their abdomen looking like the end of a kite. #animal #animals #djur #natur #naturliv #nature #insect #insects #fauna #insekter #insekt #robberfly #robberflies #tvåvingar #rovflugor #rovfluga #insectagram #wildlife #arthropods #arthropod #invertebrate #invertebrates #animalia #arthropoda #insecta #diptera #asilidae #tolmerus #tolmerusatricapillus #kitetailedrobberfly (at Erkenlaboratoriet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrnhXaoA6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Despite the name, it is not native to Japan, though it has been known in cultivation there for centuries. The wild origins of this species have long puzzled botanists, but wild plants in Taiwan, known under the name Mahonia tikushiensis, appear most similar to the cultivated forms of M. japonica.

Taken 2022 15th August, upon returning to Sweden, I didn't know if I could actually sneak up on a dragonfly, like this male ruddy darter (Sympetrum sanguineum), or blodröd ängstrollslända, by the Fyris River. In Sweden, they occur from Skåne to Gästrikland where ever still waterbodies with plenty of semi-aquatic vegetation. They can be seen flying during July-October. Mating takes place on the wing and pairs perform a dipping flight over the water as the female jettisons her eggs at the water surface by alternating movements of the abdomen. The male hovers nearby during this period and protect the female by driving off any approaching males. Once hatched, naiads spend a year being aquatic before emerging into adults. #animal #animals #djur #natur #naturliv #wildlife #insect #insects #insekt #insekter #insectagram #nature #fauna #invertebrate #invertebrates #dragonfly #dragonflies #trollsländor #trollslända #animalia #arthropod #arthropods #arthropoda #insecta #odonata #libellulidae #sympetrum #sympetrumsanguineum #ruddydarter #blodrödängstrollslända (at Fyrisån) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcZSCCvIGd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Follow @gardeningwithpeace A citrus-scented geranium, this is a great patio plant, especially in containers. Be careful not to over-fertilize because too much nitrogen can reduce the fragrance of the leaves. Although the oil from crushed leaves may have some ability to discourage mosquitoes, the plants alone are grown more for their refreshing scent than as a mosquito repellent. Place citronella near a gate or path where you brush against the leaves as you walk by, or in a pot where children can rub the leaves to enjoy their fragrance. Plants are vigorous growers and drought tolerant. Be sure to move indoors before frost. #spidersofinstagram #macrophotography #cottagegarden #wasp #butterflyphotography #gardener #landscaping #summergarden #gardensofinstagram #honeycomb #shrub #bugs #insect #insectagram #fromthegarden #gardeningaustralia #entomology #insects #gardenofinstagram #bugsofinstagram #macroinsect #homegarden #insectsworld #inmygarden #gardeningwithpeace #mosquito (at Peace Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdVnMeCrKF7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For a few minutes the Caterpillar continued to smoke without saying a word, but then he opened his arms, took the pipe out of his mouth again and said: -So you think you've changed, right?
