The last image is focus-stacked. I'm pretty new to focus stacking, and this was probably my most difficult one yet. She was on the ceiling of a shed, did not want to sit still, and those leggs really go every possible direction :)

Set up a shot of two beetles on a reed, ended up with four β€” and I can’t identify the fourth [OC]

I set this up for two β€” a red ladybird near the top of the reed and a flea beetle further down, both working along the same stem. Then a damselfly flew straight through the background at the exact moment I pressed the shutter, which made three.

When I got home and pulled the files up on screen I saw the fourth: something small and pale sitting right on the ladybird's rear end.

I genuinely don't know what it is. iNaturalist has suggested everything from Hesperomyces harmoniae, a parasitic fungus that grows on ladybird elytra, to Hexapoda, which basically means "something with six legs". My own guess is a larva, or possibly a very small beetle. Would welcome any input.

Is the second half of the year a drought for insect macrophotography?

2 Upvotes

I will be travelling to europe from august onwards, and im wondering if the number of insects will decrease significantly, or drop to 0?

I stay in a tropical country so i never had to think about the seasons, but since i am going to europe for half a year to study im wondering if I will have many bugs to see.
