Weaver ants or Green ants (genus Oecophylla) are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae (order Hymenoptera). Weaver ants are obligately arboreal and are known for their unique nest building behaviour where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. […] Oecophylla smaragdina found in Australia often have bright green gasters.
Two images of a moth (Psilogramma menephron), one is the result of a stack of multiple photos taken with different focus (focus stack).
A spider with unusual form “shield”, this species lives in Queensland, Australia. The picture is not exceptional, I didn't want to use an higher ISO than 800 at 1/30th and +1EV (to light-up dark areas), and the environment was not the most stable, the spider web was moving in the slightest air movement. Thank you […]

I just figured out I didn't post any macro for quite some time; so I decided to go out this past tuesday and make some. Adjustments are relatively basics here, I tried to enhance colors from an initial much more dull picture, to get a result closer to “what I've seen”.
1:1 Ratio 2:1 Ratio This is an hairy squirrel you can only see on Himalayan Irish beaches. It's easily tamable, you can even ride it when it's adult (ok, here it's a baby). It used to be mixed up with a spider, however, who already ride a spider? Another earmark for adjacent identification which don't […]
Is it the right name? Hypomecis roboraria - Great Oak Beauty Any help for identification will be much appreciated. Just a little back to the macro (after the Axalp) to share with you this “picture of the week-end”
Background color was a saturated red on original. Too much disturbing for me.
I've deliberately used a very thin depth of field (ƒ3.5) to effectively enhance the outline of each leaf. I've made a test with a low aperture (higher ƒ); the result was way different, way less graphic and pleasant — at least for me —.
