Macro photograph of the centre of a mallow flower, showing the stamens united in one spike, all covered with pale pink pollen. Around, the pink petals are not completely open and give an impression of tunnel going towards the stamens, the effect accentuated by the bright pink streaks, all going towards the center.

Photographie macro du centre d'une fleur de mauve, montrant les étamines réunies en un épi, toutes couvertes de pollen rose pâle. Autour, les pétales roses ne sont pas complètement ouverts et donnent une impression de tunnel allant vers les étamines, l'effet accentué par les stries rose vif, allant toutes vers le centre.

Sorry – awful photos, but the only way I could get them was by holding the camera high above my head & semi-blindly tapping on the fold-out screen to take a shot 🙄

But still worth sharing, IMO, as they show a male Dexia vacua, a tachnid fly species that's very rare except, it seems, in my garden 🤷‍♂️🙂

A long-legged fly standing on a green ivy leaf, seen from behind and above. The focus is on the fly's wings and tapering abdomen, where each tergite is banded in light brown, medium brown, and black, with many small black hairs. There are also lots of larger black bristles, and a clear indication that this is Dexia vacua, not the much more Dexiosoma caninum is that there are strong bristles in the middle of the tergites, not just at the edges. Similarly, the wing venation confirms the ID: the median vein extends from the horizontal m-cu vein further than the remaining distance from its end to the trailing edge of the wing. The median vein appendix is also short, as required. The rest of the fly is out of focus, but a light brown colour is seen on the thorax and dark red compound eyes are seen beyond.

"Bamboo Lattice" for #ForestFriday

Bamboo is a grass (Poaceae family, the "true grasses") but I guess to every bug on the ground, grass looks just a forest. 😁 Bamboo's a bigger grass, and we're just bigger bugs. :)

Photographed at Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan.

The Reality of an AI Tomorrow Rafael Salazar · 2026

We speak constantly about the future AI will create.

But sometimes the more important question is already in front of us:
What happens to the human being in the tomorrow we are building?

This photograph was not staged. It records a real moment encountered during Labor Day weekend.

The photograph is reality. AI is the question.

This black bear stood in the middle of the river and focused on a spot where many salmon had gathered. The bear was keeping a close eye on their movement, waiting for the right moment to jump and catch one.

Mrs. and Mr. Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) on an early morning stroll at a marsh.

Spotted during a recent photo tour. We heard their call first so we approached very slowly and quietly.

#photography #nature #birds #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

A female and male wood ducks on a fallen tree with moss that is resting above a marsh. There are trees in the background and they are out of focus. The wood duck is about 43–52 centimetres (17–20.5 inches) long. Both male and female have a characteristic head crest. The crest of the male has two longitudinal white stripes. His purple and green head, red-brown breast flecked with white, and bronze sides are readily identifiable. The distinguishing feature of the female is a white eye-ring; her body is a sooty gray-brown, with white throat and white streaked breast.

One of my favourite WTF😱 insects seen earlier today.

It's a buffalo treehopper (Stictocephala bisonia; 🇩🇪 Büffelzikade).

And although bison are native in Europe as well as North America, this namesake isn't – it's an invasive species which first arrived from over the pond around a century ago.

A small insect seen on some green leaves. The view is more or less head on, showing the peculiar large flat face which tapes back into a triangle over the top, and into two horns, one on each side. The insect is mostly green in this view with dimpling on its face, while the edges of the face and the horns are yellow with red and black tips. The insect has black and grey compound eyes on either side of its head and two smaller red ocelli between them. The back can't be seen well, but tapers into clear wings. The insect has green legs which turn orange at the end.

I like both versions of this scene from the creek out back, but the crop of a photo can really change the feel of a scene, yeah? I typically like wider crops more, but square crops tend to work better for small screens because you don't have to ask your audience to rotate orientation for proper viewing 😅

A square-cropped close-up of a mossy fallen log extending diagonally from the bottom left corner into a shallow creek. The tight framing emphasizes the texture of the bark and the clarity of the water below, creating an immersive perspective.

A wider, landscape-oriented version of the same scene. This crop includes more of the surrounding forest canopy and riverbanks, placing the fallen log within the broader context of the lush green woodland environment.

Spider fans – I need your help!

This tiny one is a juvenile orb weaver, but despite the apparently distinctive pattern of spots and patches, I can't make a good genus-level ID, let alone species 😱

Some common features with each of Araniella, Enoplognatha, & Mangora, but nothing definitive.
