We didn't stay long in Zurich, but drove with a good Swiss friend in the farmer's village Pignia in the mountains, where he owns a beautiful house. I will definitely show you some great scenery pictures from there, but, suitable to my previous zoo articles, first you can admire some really nice insect and flower photos. One immediately notices the positive effect of a clean environment and good air on the stocks of the here still very numerous bees, bumblebees and butterflies (and thus also on the harvest yields). I hope you enjoy the photos! :) |
Wir blieben nicht lange in Zürich, sondern fuhren mit einem guten schweizer Freund in das Bauerndorf Pignia in den Bergen, wo er ein schönes Haus besitzt. Ich werde euch auf jeden Fall noch einige tolle Landschaftsbilder von dort zeigen, aber, passend zu den vorherigen Zoo-Artikeln, könnt ihr jetzt erstmal ein paar wirklich schöne Insekten- und Blumenphotos bewundern. Man merkt sofort, wie positiv sich eine noch saubere Umwelt und gute Luft auf die Bestände der dort noch sehr zahlreichen Bienen, Hummeln und schmetterlingen (und damit auch auf die Ernteerträge) auswirken. Ich wünsche viel Freude beim Betrachten der Fotos! :) |
'western honey bees' (Apis mellifera) on a plant of the genus Echinacea. These plants are real 'insect magnets'.
/
'Honigbienen' (Apis mellifera) auf 'Sonnenhut' (Gattung Echinacea). Sonnenhüte sind wahre 'Insektenmagneten'.
Plant of the genus Gentiana with very beautiful blue flowers.
/
Wunderschön blau blühende Enzianart (Gattung Gentiana).
Also numerous wasps were bustling around these sweet tasting flowers.
/
Auch Wespen tummelten sich zahlreich auf den süß schmeckenden Blüten.
Now some bumblebees.
/
Nun einige Hummeln.
The green color of the bug contrasts in a beautiful way with the yellow-black color of the flower.
/
Die grüne Farbe der Wanze steht in schönem Kontrast zur gelbschwarzen Blüte.
The now shown insects are all flies which belong to the insect order Diptera.
/
Die nun gezeigten Insekten sind alles Fliegen, die der Insektenordnung der 'Zweiflügler' (Diptera) angehören.
The insects you see below aren't wasps but 'hoverflies' (family Syrphidae) which are completely harmless, but imitate the bright warning colors of stinging insects to be better protected from birds and other enemies without 'wasting' energy to produce own poison (a typical example of mimicry).
The name 'hoverflies' comes from their ability to stay at one place during flying (reminding at a helicopter).
/
Unten sind keine Wespen abgebildet, sondern 'Schwebfliegen' (Familie Syrphidae), die selbst völlig ungefährlich die leuchtenden Warnfarben wehrhafter Insekten imitieren, um so besser vor Vögeln und anderen Feinden geschützt zu sein, ohne selbst aufwendig Gift produzieren zu müssen (ein typisches Beispiel für Mimikry).
Der Name 'Schwebfliegen' rührt daher, dass die Tiere während des Fliegens wie ein Hubschrauber auf der Stelle 'stehen' können.
Colorful butterfly 'small tortoiseshell' (Aglais urticae).
/
Farbenfroher Tagfalter der Sorte 'Kleiner Fuchs' (Aglais urticae).
At the end a beetle (Order Coleoptera).
/
Zum Schluss noch ein Käfer (Ordnung Coleoptera).

Lovely vibrant colors!
I also took a couple photos of bees. However, did you have the dilemma between getting closer to get a better picture and yet being scared the bee/wasp stings you, so also hesitant to get close to the bees/wasps?
I had that dilemma. Its quite daunting to take photos of those unpredictable insects, so good job there;)

As I fear Homo sapiens more than any bees or wasps I have no problem to get very closed to my beloved insects. :-) (Even if they would sting - so what? There are more dangerous things on earth ...)

... but don't confuse the hoverflies with wasps (I wrote they aren't wasps). :) But OK, probably you mean the real wasps. Also on some of the wasps photos are also insects though which aren't wasps ...
