And while I did venture out into the garden today, it was far too hot for me & seemingly also so for many insect friends.
So it's back to pictures taken on the Königstuhl earlier this week.
First, a small, colourful Arched Marble, a kind of tortrix moth (Olethreutes arcuella; 🇩🇪 Prachtwickler).

There are many moths in & around the forest atop the Königstuhl 🌳🌲 This is another example – it's an August Thorn (Ennomos quercinaria; 🇩🇪 Eichen-Zackenrandspanner), which is widespread in western Europe, but not particularly common. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #InsectsOfMastodon 🪰 #BackGardenEntomology 🪲
