Dicyrtomina ornata 🇩🇪
I went into the forest to test out my new OM System camera and decided to take some photos of a mushroom. I did this with a tree mushroom. While focus stacking, I noticed something small crawling around — probably springtails. When I got closer, I discovered two of them.
ℹ️ The Dicyrtomina ornata grows to a length of about 1.8 mm. It feeds on plant litter, fungi and lichens, among other things. It can sometimes be found in soil and damp forests. With its jumping fork, it can jump far when danger is imminent.

Bunter Kugelspringer 🇩🇪
📝 Ich bin zum testen meiner neuen OM-System Kamera mal in den Wald gegangen und wollte ein paar Fotos von einem Pilz machen. Das habe ich dann bei einem Baumpilz gemacht. Beim Fokus Stacking ist mir dann aufgefallen, dass dort etwas kleines krabbelt, vermutlich Springschwänze. Und beim näheren ran gehen habe ich dann zwei Kugelspringer entdeckt.
Dank einer Mischung aus der Hilfe von iNaturalist, einen User und Vergleiche bei der Suche #kugelspringer, weiß ich, dass es sich wahrscheinlich um bunter Kugelspringer handelt.
ℹ️ Der bunte Kugelspringer (Dicyrtomina ornata) wird ca. 1,8 mm lang. Er ernährt sich u.a. von pflanzlichen Streu, Pilzen und Flechten. Er ist mitunter im Erdreich und in feuchten Wäldern zu finden. Mit seiner Sprunggabel kann er weit springen, wenn Gefahr in Vollzug ist.

#FotoVorschlag “Verrückte Natur // Crazy Nature”

This is a Variegated Fritillary Chrysalis. It appears to have woven silk thread around the plant leaves, somewhat loosely enclosing it in an outer cocoon while it transforms into a butterfly. The golden spikes on the chrysalis are captivating in real life. Much brighter and sparkle more than what is shown in every picture I’ve taken of them. This is the second example I’ve seen of this cool creature and I feel like it’s a great example of “crazy nature.”

Bumblebee doing what bumblebees do. Drinking nectar and collecting pollen. I like the texture and stripes of its abdomen. Also the Yellow and Purple colors are pleasing together.

“Final Resting Place” A deceased ant lays on a leaf after, I presume, a life of hard work. There was something white next to it. I’m guessing either fluff from a wooly aphid or maybe fungus.

Graphocephala versuta is a species of sharpshooter in the family Cicadellidae. Also just commonly called Leafhoppers. I think this is my best photo of one to date, and fortunately it had rained the day before so I got some cool water droplets on the leaves.

I got a second chance to take a photo like what I posted the other day. This one was a tad bit bigger but I got the focus right this time. #insektensamstag

Pearl Crescent

Butterflies usually don’t let me get very close, but this one was either oblivious or just extremely chill. Either way, it was a pleasure.

Eris Militaris, I believe it was a male because the thorax was slimmer. I watched this spider stalk a little gnat that kept on landing on the same 3 leaves including this one. Everytime the spider got close the gnat would fly to another leaf. In this instance the spider had decided to ambush it by closing the distance on the other side of the leaf (very smart.) but the gnat had already flown away by the time he peaked over the leaf. I’m sure he didn’t go hungry though, he was too persistent.
