Aporia crataegi (fam. Pieridae)

[ES] No sé qué hacían estas mariposas, solo sé que no paraban de batir las alas en el sitio. Quizá peleaban por ocupar el cardo o una intentaba copular y la otra no estaba receptiva… ni idea. He recortado la foto en cuadrado porque no me gustaba cómo quedaba en vertical ni en horizontal; solución salomónica.

[EN] I don't know what this two butterflies were doing. They kept beating their wings on the place. Maybe they were fighting or one of them was trying to copulate and the other wasn't receptive… I have no idea. I've crop the photo in a square because I didn't like how it looked horizontally nor in vertically; a Solomonic solution.

This poor bee was in our pool, hanging on for dear life but unable to get out. After carefully fishing her out I ended up putting her on one of their favourite flowers. When I checked half an hour later she hadn't moved but she was alive, so I hope I wasn't too late.

For JuneBug day 22, it is a Cicada. If I had waited a year this could have been timed with a cicada year.

Say what now?

“Like other plataspid stinkbugs, this bug has a peculiar anatomy where the digestive tract is disconnected midway. The gut is normally organized in nymphs, but the midgut becomes disconnected during development. The anterior midgut is where food digestion occurs and the posterior midgut becomes enlarged as an organ specialized for holding symbiotic bacteria. Waste is excreted through the Malpighian tubules into the hindgut.”

Ochlodes sylvanus (fam. Hesperiidae)

2026/06/13, Palencia (Spain)

[ES] Tengo otra foto mejor encuadrada, pero me gusta esta en la que la abejita se cuela en el plano. Un #photobomb en toda regla. Los hespéridos son mariposillas florícolsa de hábitos diurnos que me parecen muy simpáticos con ese "cabezón".

[EN] I've got a better composed photo, but I like this one in which the bee performs a #photobomb. Skippers are tiny butterflies which fly during the day sipping nectar from the flowers. I think they are adorable because of their big heads.
