Lixus pulverulentus in mating sent on June 15, 2022 (16:10) by MarcoCoppola. 53 comments, 1294 views. [retina]

, 1/250 f/14.0, ISO 100, hand held.

Il Lixus pulverulentus è un coleottero della famiglia dei curculionidi. È un insetto fitofago, sia gli adulti che le larve si nutrono di Asteraceae, Malva e Alcea rosea, piante molto comuni nel mio terreno. La loro particolarità è la testa allungata a forma di proboscide, chiamata rostro, alla cui estremità si trova l'apparato boccale. Come potete vedere in foto, le femmine hanno il rostro più lungo e robusto e lo usano per scavare buchi nei tessuti vegetali per deporre le uova. Foto scattata in piena notte il mese scorso durante una delle mie esplorazioni notturne. Per individuare e fotografare i piccoli animali bisogna conoscere bene la natura, camminare molto e osservare attentamente il terreno e le piante

Thank you very much Werner, Roberto, Onil and Leonardo for the comments and for having passed in my gallery
Leonardo I know well that the curculionids are considered "harmful", but in my soil I have never seen obvious damage related to them, the mallow plants are so many that are also wasted.
I have also seen other species but I have not been able to photograph them
In any case, as a nature lover, I am contario to chemical fights to eliminate animals, there is room for both me and them

Beautiful macro, for these two beetles with a beautiful lemon yellow! Excellent detail and a guessed dark background that highlights the subjects, taken among other things in a beautiful moment.
Congratulations, hello, Alessandro

Thank you very much Alessandro.
The background is dark because the photo was taken at night, fortunately there were no other leaves behind that disturbed the composition.
This species usually tends to move often and photographing it is a bit difficult.
But this time they had good reason to stay still :-D

Thank you very much Giorgio, I'm happy to be of help!
Macro is a genre that requires a lot of patience and knowledge of nature, I saw your first macro shots and I must say that you started very well.
The photos of birdlife then are beautiful :-)
