What is Nature: Beyond Human Perception - Bubulcus & Bolotas

Uncover the true essence of nature, independent of human perception, in its complexity and diversity; uncountless environments, not gardens.

The first heat wave of the year has arrived and the meadow is doing great! The tall grasses are flowering and it's finally time for the hawkweed (Hieracium) to shine! I love their beautiful bright hues (they are native here) 💛🧡❤️

There's also a beautiful moth feeding on Hieracium! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_yellow_underwing

ah, da hab ich (auf markus' anregung hin) noch eins, genauso hingebogen (tschuldigung), aber ein weit weniger unbeliebtes #krabbeltierchen und auch weit weniger tot :D

'Pferde'-bremse.
verzeiht mir dieses verbiegen des vorschlags, aber ich hab halt keine bilder von equiden, dafür von #krabbeltierchen aller art 🤷
ich weiß, die sind nicht gerade beliebt, da mag es manche beruhigen dass die nicht mehr lebt. die sticht kein pferd mehr und auch sonst niemanden.

Neighbours.

Mantises mainly perceive green and ultraviolet light, while red is almost invisible to them. Their vision is also much less sharp, except in a small central area (the fovea) used to focus on prey, while the rest is mostly for detecting movement. So I tried to roughly suggest how it might have perceived my local electromagnetic field and the utterly negligible gravitational footprint.
Made in GIMP using stacked layers: red channel zeroed and saturation reduced to simulate green/UV vision; pixelization and Gaussian blur to approximate the low-resolution sampling of the ommatidia; a less-blurred central layer with a feathered oval mask over a more blurred, desaturated peripheral layer. Added just for fun on top, a hexagonal Mosaic layer to hint at the faceted structure of the compound eye.
