Spokes / I Raggi for #texturetuesday

Repost/Re-edit because it was looking super crunchy after uploading and I'm not too sure why! Anyway! Wanted to bring you a dandelion because there were loads of them at the park - but a little bit differently✨

#FotoVorschlag 'Wenn es Frühling wird'

Mein Garten ist voll mit Holzbienen, die gerade fleißig damit beschäftigt sind, die nächsten Generationen zu erschaffen. Die Männchen dieser Art haben orangefarbige Fühlerspitzen und sind damit gut von anderen Arten utnerscheidbar.

EN: My garden is full of carpenter bees that are busy creating the next generations. The males of this species have orange-colored antennae tips and are thus easily distinguishable from other species.

Bonus bug – a large bee fly or Bombylius major, feeding from a wild strawberry flower through its large proboscis 🐝🪰

A famous bee mimic species that looks cute & fluffy, but actually has a dark side, living parasitically off real bees when a larva 😬

Very hard to catch in flight or when feeding as they tend to whizz around at high speed & are quite twitchy around humans. With some more patience, maybe I'll catch one resting 🤞

I believe these tulip lovers are Oxythyrea funesta & young at that, because they still have their bristles – those will wear off later in the season, I gather.

Also known in English as the white spotted rose beetle, Mediterranean spotted chafer, or flower scarab, and in German as the Trauer-Rosenkäfer, this species can be quite destructive to roses & other flowers 💐

Two beetles perched at the top of a yellow tulip with some red accents. The beetles are mostly black, with pink and white spots on the back. The legs are also black. The beetles are quite fuzzy with hairs.

Visited Folly Cove for the first time in a few months and found a nice variety of different nudi species. We saw a couple Ancula gibbosa, a few Ananthodoris pilosa, and even an Onchidoris muricata. My favorite find of the dive was a large mysis shrimp that I followed for a bit and managed to photograph in the water column. Nice dive!
