IMO it looks like a Gasteruption:

Gasteruption - Wikipedia

And they could be found at the moment.

R5 + RF 100L@ Iso 10 000, f/9, 1/2000s

This is a female because of the ovipositor. Cooldood's is probably a male.

Very nice shot, Nemorino...And thanks for the information on the Gasteruption.

Almost search images . Natures camo is great. Taken at Kos.

That's what camo is for, isn't it?

Totally! It fulfils its role perfectly.

I couldn't ID this female of lycaenidae yet.
I waver between a common blue (polyommatus icarus) and an adonis blue (polyommatus bellargus).
If we keep it with the probability calculation, it is a common blue, because it is more frequent

Lovely shots. Nicely done, Maximilian.

Some bugs having fun...
Maybe those are box bugs (gonocerus acuteangulatus) but I'm not sure about that.

There are lots of shots posted here showing the hairs on butterflies etc.

Just wait ’til they get a middle age chrome dome.
