The beauty of insects


Due to personal circumstances this summer, we mainly explored quiet, often wet, natural areas in our own country, Holland. No predators or raptors this time, but big fun on the square inch! It’s just a question of taking the time and watch very carefully.

Once you get involved in the amazing world of beetles, flies, wasps and dragonflies, there seems to be no end to exploring this small world of beauty.


As a bonus, you’ll find in the gridpic the story of a wasp escaping from raspberry cider after a delicious bath. Enjoy!
