Portrait of a Pyrausta aurata (Mint moth) on Mentha (Mint). This is a diurnal moth with a small wingspan 10-15 mm. This adorable little butterfly friend is my timeline cleanser of the day

On the left the dense flower buds of the mint plant with on the right the Mint moth mainly brown with orange and hairy, holding on to the Mint. The background is blurred.

A bit late but never to late for a timeline cleanser. This time a portrait of a cat. This is Saartje. A cat I was catsitting on at a friends place. Sadly she died a week after they came back. Died of a hartattack.

As some consolation, I had taken some nice photos of her during my week as a cat sitter and brought them to them later.

A bit sad this story but in honour to Saartje

Saartje, white and with stripes, laying in a white box with a round hole where she's looking out. The image is in black and white.

My animal portrait paintings kickstarted from these two tarot cards I made for The Card Geek/Divination Association. I did a lot of learning back then, and really enjoyed the process. (:

Semi-realistic style illustrated gray-white pitbull with one floppy ear pointing down and other gleefully up. He is wearing a flat color style green warp scarf around his neck, scottish woolen hat with a white pompom, and purple glasses over his shiny eyes.

Behind the dog is a cross with a black center, sureounded with a black and gray-chipped decoration, and a neon glow behind it. The background is chalkboard gray.

Text reads "I call him a good boi", "Gypsy Card illustration by hiisikoloART".

This striped grass #mouse is not impressed by #WhiskersWednesday or Wednesdays in general 🫩

#Streifengrasmaus #StripedGrassMouse #ZebraMouse #Maus #Mäuse #mice #rodent #Nagetier #animal #animals #Tier. #Tiere #Tierfotografie #AnimalPhotography #AnimalPortrait #cute

A close-up shot focuses on a small, striped grass mouse perched delicately on a thin, dark twig. The mouse has prominent, rounded, light brown ears and small, dark, beady eyes that gaze slightly to its right. Its fur is a mix of light beige and dark brown stripes running horizontally along its back and sides, transitioning to a lighter, off-white underside. The mouse's tiny pinkish paw hangs off the twig, and its long, slender, dark tail curves downwards. The background is softly blurred, showing a mix of light and dark vertical elements, possibly more twigs or stems, creating a natural, out-of-focus backdrop. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the texture of the mouse's fur and the delicate details of its features.

#FotoVorschlag: Exotische #Tierwelt // exotic #animals

Nachdem wir schon einige schräge Vögel und allerlei cooles Getier hatten, recycle ich mal dieses kleine #Känguru, weil ich das Bild einfach so mag // We've had some awesome animals already, but no #kangaroo yet, I think. So here's a #wallaby I've posted before, just because I like this portrait so much

#animal #Tier #AnimalPhotography #AnimalPortrait #Tierportrait #Tierporträt #kangaroos #Kängurus #AustralianWildlife #marsupial #Beuteltier

A close-up, high-angle shot shows the head and upper body of a small wallaby against a pale, slightly textured ground. The wallaby faces the camera directly. It has soft, grey-brown fur, with lighter brown patches around its ears and shoulders, and a darker grey muzzle. Its large, pointed ears are upright and alert. The wallaby's eyes are dark and shiny, and its nose is a prominent, textured black. The overall impression is one of gentle curiosity.

... und heute vorerst das letzte #Foto aus der Serie #Spiegelreflexkamera

The image shows a close-up view of several hermit crabs, each using their own natural, white or beige-colored shell for protection. The crabs have small, delicate claws and long antennae, with their black, beady eyes prominently visible. The background is blurred, emphasizing the detailed textures of the crabs’ legs, claws, and shells. The crabs are closely grouped together, interacting with each other and moving in the same direction. The image has a vibrant and slightly surreal quality due to the lighting and focus.

This is an eastern casquehead iguana, and yes, it is judging you!

A green lizard is placed in the centre of the photo. It looks down to the bottom right corner of the image, creating the impression of a judgemental look. The background is greyish brown and blurred so the green lizard stands out.

A floofy blue-eyed black lemur (a female, it's the males whose fur is actually fully black). Those eyes!

Canon EOS R8 | Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5,6 IS STM (with adapter)

#photography #animalphotography #animalportrait #lemur #canon #canonphotography #canoneosr8

A reddish-brown lemur is curled up and its chin is burried in its fur. It looks straight into the camera with its bright blueish-green eyes. The body fills the frame entirley, so no other background is visible.

Photo of an Asian Glossy Starling I took in the zoo in Berlin. Can't help it, I'll forever love birds. Those feathery little dinosaurs! :D
