Nothing especially new here, as these Mediterranean spotted chafers (Oxythyrea funesta; 🇩🇪 Trauer-Rosenkäfer) were very common in the garden a couple of months ago.
But this is the first I've seen in ages, which took me a little by surprise.

And finally, just because you can never have enough cute arachnids in your life, & I haven't seen them many of them recently either ... Here's a zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus; 🇩🇪 Mauer-Zebraspringspinne), checking me out as I was checking it out. #Heidelberg 🏰 #Photography 📷️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ #BugOfTheDay 🐞 #MacroPhotography 🔬 #ArchanidsOfMastodon 🕷️ #BackGardenEntomology 🪲
