Beetle with blue metallic paint / Käfer mit blauer metallic Lackierung

in photography •  6 years ago 

Unfortunately, I have not found the correct name of this beetle anywhere. That's why today's title is ...

Ich habe leider nirgendwo die korrekte Bezeichnung dieses Käfers finden können. Deshalb lautet der heutige Titel...

blue Beetle / blauer Käfer

Everything I write here today can be completely wrong. Please correct me in the comments. Maybe someone knows the exact name of the beetle.

Alles was ich heute hier schreibe, kann auch vollkommen falsch sein. Bitte korrigiert mich in den Kommentaren. Vielleicht kennt auch jemand die genaue Bezeichnung des Käfers.

For this blue metallic shimmering beetle I have found the english name "Aspen Leaf-rolling Weevil".

Der blau metallisch schimmernde Käfer gehört zur Familie der Blattroller und dürfte ein Rebenstecher sein.

Unfortunately, I have not come so close, and whenever I wanted to photograph him from the front, the little rascal has turned away and then finally fled.

Ich bin leider auch nicht so nahe herangekommen, und immer, wenn ich ihn von vorne fotografieren wollte, hat er sich der kleine Schlingel weggedreht und ist dann schlussendlich auch geflüchtet.

So, does anyone know more about this beautiful little beetle?

Also, weiß jemand mehr über diesen schönen kleinen Käfer?

Thank you very much for resteeming my post, dear @pixresteemer 😊

This beetle stole a piece of sky and carries it always with you, greedy beetle)) Excellent macro photography, my Dear friend @Johannpiber! You have found a great perspective for shooting. I see the second object of macrophotography, no less remarkable. This beautiful fly, perfectly balances the fourth photograph.
Good evening to you, my friend!

I have seen this fly at home when I looked through the photos ;) ... but both insects together, even when the fly is blurred, make a nice image composition by accident, I have to agree :)

Thank you, my friend @barski, your comment is unique and nice, as always. I wish you a good evening and night too :)

Der schaut ja wirklich klasse aus auf der gelben Blüte. Deine Marcos sind perfekt gelungen und gefallen mir sehr gut!

Danke dir vielmals @faltermann, es war eine blöde Situation wegen einem Strauch, zwischen dessen Ästen die Blumen herausgewachsen sind und ich nicht wirklich gut zum Käfer gekommen bin, ohne dass alles gewackelt hat ;)

Toll erwischt auch wenn er sich immer weggedreht hat. Das kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor 😊

Danke dir, und das war wirklich so. Ich wollte den Käfer auch nicht stören oder ärgern und von der Blüte nehmen, und leider waren die Blüten bei einem Gebüsch und ich konnte nur von zwei Seiten einigermaßen dazu 😊

Gut gemacht, Fotos sind toll 👍

Danke dir, @obsesija, schönen Abend noch :)

He looks like a Bob to me or maybe a Steve. LOL. Serioulsy some fantastic macro shot, Johann:)

Yes, @prydefoltz, Bob would match, I think. When I meet this nice little guy next time I will call him "Bob". Maybe he does not turn around then when I try to photograph him from the front 😉
Thank you very much for this nice comment 😊

@johannpiber love the metallic appearance of the beetle.

Thank you @solominer, the blue shine came out better than I thought :)

Wow super shots. What a great colours on the beetle.

Thank you so much @tijntje, the colors came out really nice :)

I wonder how close you are to the object when photographing such a lens?

I am sorry, but I do not remember - I think, about 40-50cm. I could have gone closer with the 105mm macro, but because of bushes around the flower I couldn't. This is, why I had to crop the images so much.

Well, that's a pretty good distance. I have to poke my lens almost in the nose of a beetle

That's the advantage of the longer lenses, and the Sigma is not so much more expensive than your EF-M 28mm ;)

Thank you, good try, but unfortunately wrong - my wife drives a New Beetle, and the front looks a bit different ;)

Hello @johannpiber
Awesome macro photography my friend..
how you capture this photographs my friend.. awesome..

Thank you so much, my friend @tussar11 😊

Sehr gut!!!

Danke dir @andyjaypowell 😊

Pretty blue Beetle is sitting on flower and you have captured this shot beautifully.

Thank you very much, that you like my photos, @kamrunnahar 😊

Super photo

Thank you @olezoom :)

I do not know what it is called but your shots of it are spectacular, love the detail and its color

Nobody seems to know this beetles name. I have been searching for about an hour and found out what I wrote, but I am not sure though ;)

Thank you so much, JJ, to be honest, I was surprised myself, whenI saw the photos on my monitor at home, because the flowers were beside and in a bush, and every move lead to a flower wiggle ;)

Well you managed to overcome the flower wiggle and get amazing shots, whoever the beetle is called it is a real interesting one

I think I have to do more macros. Maybe this weekend. Tomorrow I will be working till late, and won't be able to go photographing, but then it's weekend with beautiful weather for us :)

Macros sounds good I may have to try some this weekend also with the nice weather

Have you seen the new tripod peak design are bringing out a real innovation I am debating ordering one

I have seen it on Youtube yesterday and it looks really good, but the price is a bit heavy - $ 400 - did I hear right?

Yeah I think it’s 490 for carbon fiber and 300 fir aluminum
A bit pricey but I knew be some of the features
May be good to wait till other companies copy the idea fir cheaper lol

You can buy it and tell me then, how you like it ... I will wait then, until someone sells it on ebay ;)
It looks good, as I said, but 490 for a travel tripod is too much for me at the moment ... until the Steem rises ;)

Wow.. Nice picture brother. Thank you

Thank you for liking the photos and giving me this nice comment, @altafalazzam 😊

Welcome brother.. :)

very good color combination;))

Thank you very much @siniceku, this beetle has a good taste for colors 😉

You are welcome;)

😊

I don't know what that thing would be, I just kill all bugs and insects. lol. But those are great shots of it! They could be on the cover of Bug Digest!

You must look at them with a magnifying glass, @janton. When you see, how beautiful they are, you will take them in your hand and let them free somewhere far away from your home ... or just leave them where they are :)
"Bug Digest" that's nice - thank you :)

I understand sir johannpiber but I don't really have to worry about bugs here because Jack eats any of them that we see, he loves to eat bugs!

If it's dark and you do not know what you're eating, then a bug is probably like a crispy biscuit ... no idea what the taste is like - do you want to try and tell me, @janton? lol

lol! I'll let you know if that happens sir johannpiber but it better not happen!
What is the weather like there? I forgot to ask what your weekend plans are.
Here it is a holiday on Monday so it's a 3 day weekend.

😉

Yesterday I went for a hike in Slovenia, I got wet, mut not so much, and then the sun was shining hot, and then I got wet again ... the weather is mixed here. Today the sun is shining, but I am a bit tired from yesterdays hike, and I have to look through my photos for tonight's post :)

Next thursday (Mai 30) is holiday here, and I have friday off too, so it will be a very long weekend :)))

Howdy sir johannpiber! How many miles do you think you hiked the other day? You must be in pretty good condition. Don't you need a dog to go with you? No, that wouldn't work because dogs don't ride motorbikes!

My fitbit watch said, that I went about 37,000 steps, but I was kind of dead after this hike, @janton 😉

If I had a dog, then it would be a rather big one, like a german shepherd or another one of this size. I love dogs, and I have only one real reason for not to have a dog: I hate dogs, when it's wet - I hate the smell of wet dogs 😉

Insects are so interesting when you can get a good look at them! Great shot.

Thank you very much, Ross.
Actually I don't like to photograph such small insects, because they move to fast for me - I just need more practicing, I think 😉

You're good at it! : )

Thank you, I do my best :)
