$Cortodera humeralis is a species of longhorn beetle in the Cerambycidae family.\nCharacteristics:\nThe beetles become 8 to 11 millimeters long and have a variable body coloration. A dark color variant occurs, the elytra of which are black or brown in color and each has two, rarely only one yellowish spot on the shoulder. The light colour variant has yellow-brown elytra, with a dark elytra seam. \nOccurrence and way of life:\nThey are found in large parts of Europe, but are absent in northern Europe and the British Isles. They inhabit deciduous forests and occur in May and June. Adults are often found sitting on bushes or flowering oaks. The larvae develop in deadwood in soil litter, in fungal fallen wood and also in dead, near-surface roots of deciduous trees (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2006.$

The Rock Squirrel (Otospermophilus variegatus) is a medium sized ground squirrel but can also be seen climbing boulders, rocks and trees. It is typically 8-10 inches long, with a bushy tail up to 8 inches long. Rock squirrels are grayish-brown, with some patches of cinnamon color. They have a light-colored ring around their eyes and pointed ears that project well above their heads. In the northern reach of their habitat, rock squirrels hibernate during the colder months of the year. In southern areas, rock squirrels may not hibernate at all. These squirrels are diurnal animals that spend their days burrowed underground or hiding beneath bushes and rocks, only emerging to forage for food or to find mates. The rock squirrel is omnivorous with its diet consisting mostly of leaves, stems and seeds. They may also eat some insects and other small animals. This rock squirrel was photographed on Campbell Mesa in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Great spangled fritillary seeming to smile as its proboscis goes into a flower of joe-pye weed. Sharply focused on the eyes and head. The butterfly's striking pattern inspires its name. The Latin word fritillus means chessboard or dice box. The spangles are the silvery white spots on the underwings.

$Brenthis daphne, the marbled fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nBrenthis daphne has a wingspan of 30–44 millimeters. Wings are rather rounded, the basic color of the upper side of the forewings is bright orange, with an incomplete black marginal band. The underside of the hindwings have a yellowish postdiscal band and the marginal area is completely suffused with purple, with a marble effect (hence the common name). The quadrangular patch on the underside hindwing is partially shaded orange pink to outer side. The chrysalis has two dorsal rows of thorns with bright spots and a bright metallic shine.\nThis species is very similar to the lesser marbled fritillary (Brenthis ino), but the latter is slightly smaller and the coloration of said patch is completely yellow.\nBiology:\nThe butterfly flies from late May to early August depending on the location. The eggs are laid separately in July on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae feed on brambles (Rubus fruticosus), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Rubus caesius, Rubus sachalinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis and Filipendula species, while adults usually feed on nectar from brambles, thistles and other flowers. This species is univoltine. It overwinters at the caterpillar stage in the egg shell. \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis widespread species is present in the Palearctic ecozone from the southern parts of the continental Europe (northern Spain, southern France, Germany, Italy and eastwards to Slovakia and Greece), up to Caucasus, western Siberia. It prefers warm and sunny forest edges, woodland and bushy areas where the host plants grow, at an elevation of 75–1,750 meters above sea level (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
