We have made it to Wednesday, and this week that means.

#WeevilWednesday!

We start with this fantastic #FocusStack I got of a Nut #Weevil in genus Curculio this week. SO MUCH SNOOT.

A focus stacked photo of a tan and brown weevil from the front. The weevil's long and slender proboscis is dark brown, its face features two almost cartoonishly large black eyes. Its body is brown with a fine covering of tan hair-like scales and its legs are long and slender with a reddish brown hue.

It has come to my attention that I have not posted any #Dragonflies in a while, so to remedy that, here is a nice #FocusStack of an Eastern Pondhawk, Erythemis simplicicollis, from last Summer.

A focus stacked photo of the forewing and body of a green dragonfly from the above side. The front left wing stretches across the frame, its delicate net-like structure in sharp focus, a single yellow cell at the foreword tip. The dragonfly's body and head is a bright green, the eyes glossy and mottled with black spots. Its legs are black and covered in tiny spines which help it grasp its prey

Different style today. Never done macro, got myself a bargain lens to try it out. This is my first ever focus stack.

Happy #Friday everyone. This Yellow-fringed Dolichomia #Moth (Hypsopygia olinalis) friend would like to say be proud to hold your butt up high and to give side-eye to everyone. 😂

If you think the last #beetle I posted was #chonky, this one is GLORIOUSLY IMMENSE.

Behold the female Smooth Ox Beetle, Strategus antaeus. Smooth as it lacks lateral grooves on the Elytra. The third shot is a #FocusStack

A photo of the top of a large dark reddish brown scarab beetle resting on a glass table. Her elytra, the armored fore wing is smooth and glossy. Orange hairs can be seen between the elytra and the pronotum which is smooth on the sides and back, but is depressed and dimpled forward. THe head is slightly out of focus in this shot. A photo of a large dark reddish brown scarab type beetle from the side. While the elytra is mostly smooth, tiny white dots are visible in this view. Also orange hairs cover the abdomen that peeks out from under the elytra, and shows in detail how spiny her strong legs (for digging!) are. A focus stacked shot of the front of a dark reddish brown scarab type beetle (she looks black in this shot). Her strong claw tipped front legs stretch out in front of her, her flat face wedge shaped which helps her dig, her glossy pronotum broad and dimpled in the front, and smooth rearward. A photo of the head of a large scarab type beetle from above at an angle. She appears black in this shot, but is dark reddish brown. Her antennae are short, orange hairs are at the front of her face which is flat and wedge shaped, her black eyes blending in with the overall color of her carapace. Her pronotum is depressed in the front, and covered in a wave-like texture. Her front legs are broad and strong, aiding her as she digs.

My Wolf Spider friends can be quite active and getting photos of them can at times be challenging, however this beautiful lady posed for a #FocusStack of 8 shots (Using #HeliconFocus) before scampering off. I love this shot so much.

Her chelicerae (her fang holders) are gray at the top, fading to black below, with pots of orange at the top corners. Her fangs can just be seen in the shadows below. 6 of her eight eyes point forward, 4 small eyes below, two large above, with 2 eyes on the sides just behind and above the larger forward eyes. Her round opisthosoma (rear body)Is just visible behind her face.

I took some handheld photos in October 2016 to #focusStack and finally got around to trying some out. This one was just three shots. #wildlifephotography

Because It's a #Monday and the world is still being unrelentingly on fire everywhere, all at once 😑, here is bonus #MothMonday / #MacroMonday content.

This pretty little friend is a #moth in genus Desmia and it posed nicely for a #FocusStack

A photo of a dark brown moth with white spots taken from above from the side as it rests on light blue painted wood. This is a focus stacked image (multiple images taken at different planes of focus 'stacked' in software allowing more of the subject to be in focus) This moth has slender white legs with brown stripes. Its head is dark brownish on top and white on the underside. It has large dark eyes, and slender antennae which sweep back from the head over the wings. The outstretched wings are dark brown with a lighter sheen (this moth in most light appears black) The wings each feature 2 white spots along the forward edge and another white spot in the middle next to the abdomen. The abdomen is mostly dark with a white stripe adjacent to the two white median wing spots which makes them appear to merge.

My first proper #Macro shot since moving to South Carolina!

Orange-Winged Grasshopper, Pardalophora phoenicoptera, a #FocusStack

A focus stacked photo of the head and thorax of a green, brown and tan grasshopper. The grasshopper is mostly green, but is specked with brown and tan areas. This patterning would be splendid camouflage in grass, but not so much on the white garage siding on which it was so nicely perched.
