Blackberry bushes provide protection, shelter, and food to many insects. Here are a few photos I made within a short time looking at these bushes (and wondering when their fruit would be ripe so they could feed me as well):
A large skipper (Ochlodes sylvanus), groot dikkopje in Dutch, having lunch:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/125s
A grasshopper of unknown make and model:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f8, 1/160s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/320s
A small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus), hooibeestje in Dutch:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/125s
This comma (Polygonia c-album), gehakkelde aurelia in Dutch, had just finished eating and was warming up in the grass:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/160s
I also noticed that some of the blackberry bushes deeper into the peat bog had very pink flowers, which is unusual:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO800, f8, 1/30s
I wonder what causes this colour difference.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice Pictures 👍

I would expect lack of light would make the colors darker, which is the case with leaves, having more chlorophyll.

Skippers are the cutest of all the butterflies! I fall for them every time I see a closeup photo! I don't know why some blackberry flowers are pink. Some of mine are like that, too. Has it been unusually cool in your area? Our nights have been cool, and some plants do get more purple with cooler weather. But I'm just guessing at that -- really I have no idea!

Up close and personal, I love to see the fine details you are showing me! So nice of you to provide an open-air buffet! My bushes got invaded by Japanese beetles, but, not before I could pick enough fruit to make jam. Wonderful photography! Resteemed. Out of voting power! :(

The blackberry bushes are in the local peatbog near my home town, I don't have them in my garden, I would eat them all myself anyway 8-).
