Apoderus coryli. Hazel Leaf-rolling Weevil. Sitting on a Hornbeam leaf in April, so obviously failed to read the book about appearing in May on Hazel 😂. Bramfield Wood, Herts. #beetle.

Some lovely weevils on Hawthorn at the moment. These were from Coombeswood last week and are quite common. Apple Blossom Weevil (Tatianaerhynchites aequatus named after Russian zoologist Andrej Legalov's mother, Tatiana !) and Anthonomus pedicularius.

Surrounded by a forest of moss, this delicate blue mushroom was an easy choice to photograph. In the Pacific Northwest, it seems this is almost definitely Mycena amicta. I had a moment where I thought I might have been misidentifying this, but I'm still very positive it's the right ID 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟢 🔵 🍄

If you had to choose, would you go with blue or red? Well, why not both?? This leaf beetle (Aspicela bourcieri) from the cloud forests of Ecuador sure has a unique fashion sense! It's possible the colors are implying this species is poisonous, but I believe it is unconfirmed yet.

A Common Grackle highlighted by an orb of light in the rain. Cars were driving along the road with their headlights on, and this bird landed in a spot that was lined up with the light.

Lizard week rolls on - here's Abronia graminea, an arboreal Alligator Lizard from Veracruz, Mexico. These lizards live at high altitude in cloud forests and pine-oak woodlands. They are viviparous, giving birth to live young. #lizards #herps #NaturePhotography 🌿

The helicopter damselfly (Microstigma rotundatum) from the South American tropics is extremely skittish but is not a fast flier. Wait, so how does it hunt its prey? 🤔 Easy. It feeds on orb-weaver spiders that it blissfully plucks directly from their web. Now how cool is that!

A lovely Neolithic knife - with its wooden handle - from a site with houses built on stilts on marshy land in Germany. Usually, the wooden part rots away and we just have the blade. This makes so much more sense! OP - David Connolly on FB: www.facebook.com/share/p/1EaR...
