Saludos a todos, feliz inicio de semana, feliz inicio de mes, espero que el universo les dé mucha alegría y momentos hermosos. Con la intensificación de las lluvias, la vida en el solar se manifiesta ricamente, siendo una de estas manifestaciones los insectos. Estas fotos que hoy comparto, las tomé las últimas dos semanas, durante mis diarias visitas a este pequeño bosque.
Greetings to all, happy start to the week, happy start to the month, I hope the universe gives you a lot of joy and beautiful moments. With the intensification of the rains, life on the site manifests itself richly, one of these manifestations being insects. These photos that I share today were taken the last two weeks, during my daily visits to this small forest.
One of the most constant inhabitants of the backyard is this beautiful green beetle (Cotinis mutabilis) . It is not the first time that I publish about this wonderful insect, I have done it previously, but I never tire of admiring it. It is common for me to see it both on the backyard and in the internal garden, always with its beautiful color, its beautiful flight, and its friendly attitude, if you will, because it does not scare me when I approach it. These insects can live up to 18 months, perhaps I have seen this specimen before. Below, you can read some of my previous posts about this insect:
Here we can see it, resting on a piece of wood. I understand that they oviposit in decaying logs. I am always fascinated by how elegant and beautiful this insect is.
The next insect that I photographed at midday, the preferred time for butterflies to fly and drink flowers, is this beautiful Monarch Butterfly, its scientific name being Danaus plexippus. Here we can see it dancing on top of the flowers of the lemon balm or Lippia alba plants. This species of monarch butterfly, which lives in my country, does not have migratory habits, it is fixed, which is why I can see it almost daily on the backyard.
The following images are of a dragonfly (Anisoptera), which was perching on the tip of a dry male eggplant (Solanum erianthum D. Don) plant. These insects are rare on my backyard, and they are also very elusive, which is why I took the photo from afar. You can also see a photo of a small butterfly, which was flying and drinking lemon balm flowers, which according to my research with Google Lens, is an atom butterfly, (Hemiargus ceraunus astenidas), but I'm not 100 % sure, the truth is that she was flying, doing her job as a pollinator.
Here I end my post today, in which I wanted to share some of the insects that I can currently see regularly on my backyard. Greetings to all, and remember that insects are very important for life on our planet.
