Greetings and salutations, come and see some South African insects.
This is a small Geranium Bronze (Cacyreus marshalli) on a tired Daisy flower.
Winter is upon us and soon most of the flowers and the butterflies will be gone. I love all four of our seasons and I understand the recycling of nature. During Winter the trees have to sleep, as it is necessary for their re-generation in Spring on order to face the Summer heat. So the trees get undressed in Autumn and after their sleep of Winter, they put new dresses on in Spring. The flowers and many insects follow the same pattern.
Here below is an even smaller Geranium Bronze.
There was another one on this pink geranium flower.
And a closer look at it.
Just a late Autumn leaf to show you some color.
Now, what could this tiny being possibly be?
Ah! Looks like some type of Robber Fly.
Oh yes! It is indeed a Robber Fly that I took on the macro.
I think that it is of the Asilidae family.
Finally, just some orange bells to show you their beauty.
I know that will know what type of succulent it is.
Not many insects around any more, as Winter is slowly starting, but I just thought to bring you these that I found.
I have also found a lonely dragonfly, but I haven't fully downloaded the camera yet as it is getting late here. Nature holds many treasures and I love to search them out.
It takes one's mind off the worries of life.
And That's All Friends.
