Spotted this tiny praying mantis peeping in our window. I think just under 2 centimeters long. I tried to get my index finger in for scale.

A small, green praying mantis is doing a wobbly walk on the edge of a window screen. My fingertip looks huge in comparison and causes the insect to hasten away, climbing further up the screen.

And ... some more #insects from the eastern #Sauerland, this time from the Blütengarten - #Bruchhausen Sunday. A paradise for insect photographers, even if you have only a simple smartphone at hand.

More #insects from that crowded common #hogweed (I think) in the German #Sauerland. IDing all the bugs will take time (and a larger screen, am on travel with just a cellphone).

More #insects, this time with just a smartphone while hiking in the eastern #Hochsauerlandkreis in the #Sauerland near the small Silbersee - enormous traffic on just one plant.

Want more #insectsofmastodon? Some more pictures of #insects on our balcony in #Bochum, Germany, seen yesterday during further experiments with macro gear.

Early experiments in catching #hoverflies in flight ... dunno why the wings are completely blurred in one picture but very sharp in the other, both were at 1/500 second with the flash fired. Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ300 with macro lens. #insectsofmastodon #insects
