BEAUTIFUL BUMBLE BEE PHOTOS

6/28/2011

2 Comments

 
I posted this on My Blog yesterday:

"It was my incredible good fortune today to find a place where the bumble bees gather. Yesterday I saw a huge one, and today I saw three on one photo shoot, and about four on another outing. I was able to get within inches of them and then I let one crawl on me! What a special treat."
Picture
An amazing thing happened when I was photographing one of these beautiful creatures. A wasp, or some strange bee-looking bug, attacked my bumble bee. It was a large bumble bee and the little guy knocked her two feet from the flower she was sipping. The bumble bee was a bit dazed, but didn't get aggressive or try to fight back. And the attacker went after her again! I didn't think twice before defending the bumble bee. I swiped the air with my arm to knock the attacker down. It worked. I cleared the air of the offending bug and the bumble bee went on merrily sipping nectar. 
Picture
This was my first time ever holding a bumble bee. It was down by my foot and looked a bit disoriented. I picked it up and it crawled on me. I'm not sure she was okay. I've seen my honey bees like this. She tried to fly but could only buzz her wings and not take flight.
Picture
 I handled a lot of honey bees over the past several months that were dying beneath their hive. Some had a frenzied drunk-like behavior. They couldn't rest. They would crawl, stumble, fall and keep on going. This bee was acting very similar to the honeybees.

Learning to Communicate with Insects

6/25/2011

2 Comments

 
I go out nearly every day in search of capturing insects through a camera lens. I commonly find grasshoppers, ladybugs and daddy longleg spiders. I've also become very familiar with damselflies, and of course, my honey bees. 
Picture
Honeybee
I can be found chasing down any flying creature! I go toward bumble bees and wasps, and even spiders.
Picture
This yellow bug (above) was so calm and fearless. I love that. 
Picture
Taken June 25th
I see dragonflies every now and then. They are spectacular! I've seen ornate ones, huge ones and colorful ones. Each time I luck upon them, it's magical. I've only gotten distant shots so far. I can't wait to get a good capture! They take my breath away; so do butterflies. I've tried getting photos of various wasps, but they very rarely land on anything, so they're mostly in constant motion.
Picture
Blurry photo of damselflies mating


Today I saw a pair of damselflies mating. They flew together in unison. I followed them for twenty yards or so, from one weed or blade of grass to the next, but then I got distracted for a nano second and lost sight of them. I got one semi blurry photo. 


What I love about my new interest in photographing insects, is the interaction with these little creatures. I'm finding ways to communicate with them and that's something I never thought was possible.
Picture
I also love watching these creatures explore the world. 
Look at how this little guy (below) is reaching out to touch the plant. 
He had been on the green leaf and I introduced him to a flowering plant.
Picture
He was moving all over it. Maybe it was a plant he wouldn't 
have normally been crawling around had I not placed him there.
Picture
When I mention to people that I'm enjoying my macro lens and how
interesting I find the insect world, I get a lot of blank stares and those
nods that people give when they're thinking how weird someone is. 
Maybe it is weird. But it's an amazing world out there. There's so much
life crawling around, flying around, hopping around, digging, hiding, eating,
exploring, and capturing a tiny fraction of it through a lens is fascinating.
Picture
Picture
Damselfly
Yesterday I followed a grasshopper around from blade of grass to blade of grass. They'll stay put if they don't fear me, but I have to get so close with my lens that I can see them seeing me and often they'll slide around the blade of grass so I can't see their eyes. They move from side to side like a game of hide and seek. But every once in a while, they get used to me, and realize I'm not going to hurt them. Yesterday that allowed me to pick up the little guy and let him walk around my hand. He stayed for quite sometime. As with all living creatures, I talked to him (or her.) 
Picture
I've read about grasshoppers spitting a tobacco like substance that other insects don't like. I've never had one do it to me. This little fella seemed quite happy to explore my hand and wasn't in a hurry to hop away.
Picture
These little guys are just the cutest!
I do the same thing with ladybugs. I pick them up or pick up the leaf they're visiting sometimes. They will also hide from me, but they are less ready to fly off the way the grasshoppers are ever ready to hop away. I've gotten to where I know when a ladybug is going to fly off. I can see her outer shell begin to slowly open. Sometimes I can get the fear to subside and she'll stick around. 
Picture
Mexican Bean Beetle - see info on this bug at the bottom of this blog. The Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varivestis, is a species of lady beetle which is a notorious agricultural pest. It is one of the few lady beetles that feed on plants rather than other insects.
Picture
Grasshopper Anatomy
  • Grasshoppers have five eyes; two large compound eyes and three single eyes, one above each antenna and one below and in between the antennae. Grasshoppers do not have ears, but instead hear through the use of an organ called a tympanum, it is found on the abdomen where legs connect to the body. A grasshopper's legs are strong enough to push with a force 20 times its body weight. source: http://www.ehow.com
Picture

Song of the grasshopper ....
"That familiar chirping in the fields of the countryside is the result of grasshopper stridulation. A row of evenly spaced, minute pegs on the largest joint of the hindlegs is rubbed over the more prominent veins or ribs of the forewing. Usually, but not always, only the males can sing. Each species has its own song." source:http://www.planet-pets.com

Picture
I loved how calm this daddy longleg spider was. I actually adjusted his legs for a better photo op (below) using a leaf to pull them straight. The spider let me move her legs without getting alarmed or trying to run! I thought that was pretty amazing!
Picture
"Grasshoppers only weigh about 2 to 3 grams, but can thrust their legs against the ground at a force of 30 grams with legs half-extended. This works when leg muscles contract. This must all take place quickly, the thrust and contractions, because if the thrust builds up too slowly, the grasshopper will not get a quick take-off and the leap will not be very far. The northern grasshopper can actually leap 20 times the length of its body at full force." source: eHow.com by Emilia Lamberto.
Picture
I think this might be some kind of moth (below), but I don't know.
The texture looks like suede!

Let me know if you know what kind of bug this is. Thanks!

I think this is a Mexican Bean Beetle. Here's what I learned today:

The Mexican bean beetle, formerly called the bean ladybird, is one of the most destructive insect pests of beans in 
New York State.  The beetle feeds on the leaves of almost all types of beans, including snap, lima, pinto, navy, 
kidney, and soybeans.  With snap beans, bush varieties seem to be attacked more readily than pole varieties. 

Most of the damage from the Mexican bean beetle occurs during July and August.  Both the adult and the larval 
stages feed on the foliage, chewing out holes in the leaves.   They usually feed on the undersides of the leaves, and 
sometimes will attack young pods and stems.  As a result of feeding, only the veins are left, giving the leaves a lacy appearance. Yield may be greatly reduced and the entire planting may be destroyed in severe infestations. source:

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, 
concentrate the mind on the present moment."
Buddha 
Look at that face! This little guy was peering over a cactus plant on my morning walk. What incredible creatures are out there. I love seeing all this detail. He was watching me and staying on guard. My favorite thing is when the insects relax around me and stop hopping away or flying off. Sometimes they just let me get within an inch of them and I just click away on my camera. 
Picture
"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
Friedrich Nietzsche

and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy,
 healing, and inclusion."
Max de Pree

Just Doing Their Own Thing

6/22/2011

0 Comments

 
This was a first for me. I watched this damselfly eat an entire insect. I have a series of photos showing it devouring a bug. Damselflies are so small, that it took me a while, as I was photographing it, to even realize it was eating something. At first, I thought it was eating a tiny blade of grass. After I downloaded the photos I could see that it was, in fact, eating a bug!
Picture
Something I've become aware of, only after photographing insects, is how independent they are, and how they are not out to 'get humans'! I think many of us have this idea that insects intentionally want to attack us. Some might, but most don't. What I'm observing shows just the opposite. Most bugs want to move away from me. If they land on me it's because I'm in their environment like a piece of the landscape and/or they're curious, but never do I get the feeling they are out to hurt me. They like to do their own thing, whatever that happens to be.
Picture
Bugs just seem to be busy with the business of living. 
Picture
Interestingly, bugs seek what animals and humans seek. Food, shelter, safety, and it appears even having fun is on their agenda.

Spiders and Insects

The term arachnid is derived from the Greek word ἀράχνη (aráchnē), meaning "spider". Arachnids have eight legs and are further distinguished from insects (that have six legs) by the fact they have no antennae or wings. 
Picture
Pictured here are Opiliones (formerly Phalangida, and better known as "harvestmen" or "daddy longlegs"), which are arachnids. They are harmless to people and known for their exceptionally long walking legs, compared to their body size. As of 2007, over 6,400 species of Phalangids have been discovered worldwide. source: wikipedia

Photographing The Insect World

6/5/2011

0 Comments

 
"When I finally stand up and take the camera away from my eye, 
and fade back into my giant, human status, only then do I realize
 how small the world is that I just entered, and at the same time, 
how much larger it now feels to know so much life exists in that realm."

~ by Betsy Seeton
Green lacewings are delicate insects with compound eyes and typmpanal organs. Wikipedia explains, "A tympanal organ is a hearing organ in insects, consisting of a membrane stretched across a frame backed by an air sac and associated sensory neurons. Sounds vibrate the membrane, and the vibrations are sensed by this organ." I've never been much of a bug person, so this was very interesting. (If I could ever remember 'tympanal', I could use it in scrabble.)
Picture
GREEN LACEWING in Colorado - Taken the morning of June 5, 2011
Adults lacewings have typmpanal organs at the forewings' base, enabling them to hear well. Some Chrysopa show evasive behavior when they hear a bat's ultrasound calls: when in flight, they close their wings (making their echolocational signature smaller) and drop down to the ground. source: wikipedia

This green lacewing was incredibly camouflaged against the green leaf.  The wings were translucent with a slight iridescence and green wing veins. The only distinguishing feature it had, making it stand out a tiny bit from the leaf, yet only the size of the head of a pin, were the black and gold colored eyes. It would be so easy to never see this bug unless, like me, you were searching for insects to photograph. It was no bigger than one half inch.
Picture
GREEN LACEWING - Taken the morning of June 5, 2011
I followed this damselfly around from blades of grass to dandelions that had gone to seed, and then to dried up weeds and back to grass. It's a skill that can actually be sharpened. On each photoshoot, I train my eyes to be uncommonly observant. It takes complete focus; 100% attention. It's a great way to get away from life's stress. It gives me no time to mull over my own personal issues. All my thoughts must stay "in the field" and not wander away or drift off.
Picture
Taken the morning of June 5, 2011
To get a decent shot, I'm often crawling on my stomach or crouched so low in a squat position with my elbows on the ground. I have to move slowly, and quietly, and yet get comfortable enough, and close enough, to hold the camera steady. 
Picture
Taken the morning of June 5, 2011
 I'm no video game player whatsoever, but lately I wondered if photoshoots like this might feel like being inside a video game, where the shooting is not done with guns, but using a camera, and I'm not out to kill, only to get a killer photo. It has a competitive feel to it, but only against myself. I'm out to capture the world we rarely notice, but one that is all around us. I'm now taking notice of life that has largely been oblivious to me. It makes the world vastly more interesting. 
Picture
Taken the morning of June 5, 2011
It's a little bit like being a character in the Disney movie, Honey I Shrunk The Kids. When I'm working on this macro level, these critters seem much larger and much more imposing than they are. When I finally stand up and take the camera away from my eye, and fade back into my giant, human status, only then do I realize how small the world is that I just entered, and at the same time, how much larger it now feels to know so much life exists in that realm.

Honey bee collecting nectar
I googled to figure out what kind of insect I'd photographed below. It had a sparkly green body that made it look a bit like a honey bee dressed in drag. I think they're called sweat bees, named for their habit of landing on people and licking the perspiration from the skin in order to obtain the salt.
Picture
A 'sweat bee' - Agapostemon texanus, Colorado on June 3. 2011
"This family of bees engages in a behavior called sonication, or buzz pollination. The bee places the anther in its jaw and vibrates each flower with its flight muscles, causing pollen to be dislodged. Wild blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) crops are more effectively pollinated through buzz pollination, and sweat bees do pollinate this plant."

A 'sweat bee' - Agapostemon texanus, Colorado on June 3. 2011
"These bees visit between four and eight flowers per minute and carry significant pollen loads on their hind legs. Additionally, sweat bees are generalist feeders - they feed on, and subsequently pollinate, many different flower types. These behaviors and adaptations make sweat bees efficient pollinators." source: http://www.nbii.gov

    About insects ...

    "These small, six-legged creatures include bees, ants, flies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, crickets, butterflies, cockroaches, termites, fleas, and beetles. Although some insects annoy us by spreading disease, damaging crops and household items, and biting people and pets, these represent only about 17% of all the 800,000 species.

    The rest of the insects serve a very valuable purpose in nature. These serve as food for birds, frogs, fish, and other animals; pollinate crops; destroy other harmful insects; give us honey, bees wax, shellac, and silk; and keep the land clean by feeding on dead animals and plants."
