#fotovorschlag "insekten" "Hold on tight," I thought, when I saw this insect, because the wind was blowing and the delicate flower stem was moving back and forth and it had to stay there for a while, because a sharp photo could only be taken with a tripod. I have no idea what kind of insect it is, but it has a beautiful color. #insect #insects #photography #macro #macrophotography #macroinsect #macroinsects #fotografie #insekt #insekten #fediphoto #fediphotography

Nice shot! Always a tense moment when trying to snap a picture of a swaying subject.

What a coincidence, I just stumbled upon this video featuring the golden-bloomed longhorn by the aptly-named "ramblings of an entomologist" channel, having never seen it before myself. Figured I'd share the clip!

What a nice video, thank you very much for the link! It is a wonderful creature: the golden-bloomed Grey Longhorn (and long they are!) Beetle. I am glad it let me photograph him (or her).
