Munch munch munch munch… but it’s okay, they’re on a kind of green bush without flowers in one of the flowerboxes which we were originally going to throw out anyway, so bon appetit :-).

Some caterpillars munching on a leaf on my balcony… it’s okay, they’re allowed on this one :-).

One of the aphids currently infesting the yellow rose bush.
We call them Blattläuse (=leaf louses) here in Germany :-).

Some experimental macro photography for #MacroMonday (and maybe even #MusicMonday) over on Google+ – I shot this with ISO1600 in low-light conditions just to see if I could filter out the noise.

Something different and unusual for #MacroMonday with the sub-theme Books over on Google+.

I think it was trying to the can-can :-).

A quickie macro for the Art Supplies theme of Macro Monday over at Google+.
Of course I don’t have real art supplies because I’m definitively not an artist in the sense of painting and drawing – so here are just a couple of cheap pencils I had lying around :-).

I don’t know who or what you are, but thanks for letting me take your picture :-). A little out of focus, but it was a bit windy and I only had a couple of seconds before this fly took off again.

I hope I don’t frighten anyone too much with this image, but this zebra spider is really just about 4-5mm big and absolutely nothing to worry about. But I think it’s cute with its four eyes :-).

The last photo of the black, four-spotted ladybug, shortly before taking flight :-).
