Zum heutigen #InsektenSamstag ein schöner Fund aus den Bergen des schweizerischen Wallis:
Ein Schmetterling mit dem wunderlichen Namen "Hufeisenklee-Widderchen" (Zygaena transalpina).
The European hare (Lepus europaeus) is a fast and agile mammal native to open fields and meadows across much of Europe. It measures around 60 to 70 centimeters in length and weighs between 3 and 5 kilograms. Unlike rabbits, hares do not dig burrows but rely on speed and camouflage to evade predators. With powerful hind legs, they can reach speeds up to 70 km/h and leap great distances when startled. Most active during dawn and dusk, hares are shy creatures, feeding mainly on grasses, herbs, and crops. Spring is mating season, often marked by the famous “boxing” behavior seen between males and females. Despite their quiet nature, hares are an important part of Europe’s farmland wildlife.
Der Feldhase (Lepus europaeus) ist ein flinker und scheuer Bewohner offener Landschaften, Wiesen und Felder in ganz Europa. Er wird etwa 60 bis 70 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 3 und 5 Kilogramm. Anders als Kaninchen gräbt der Hase keine Baue, sondern verlässt sich auf seine Tarnung und enorme Geschwindigkeit – bis zu 70 km/h! Besonders im Frühling ist das typische “Boxen” zu beobachten, wenn sich Männchen und Weibchen während der Paarung jagen. Feldhasen sind dämmerungsaktiv und ernähren sich hauptsächlich von Gräsern, Kräutern und Feldfrüchten. Sie sind ein faszinierender Teil unserer heimischen Tierwelt.

This image shows a lush, green park with tall trees, some beginning to show hints of autumn colors. A person is walking on the grassy path under a partly cloudy sky, creating a peaceful, serene atmosphere.

A slug is always on its own. It's a lonely insect.

Probably orphaned, poor little gaffer (a deceased doe was in the area). I hope he is able to befriend forest animals including a rabbit who offers sage aphorisms to help him grow up to be a fine buck #bambi #nature #deer #mammals #naturephotography #animals #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeconservation #forest #wild #naturelovers #animalsofediverse #animalsoftheworld

My late contribution to #ForestFriday comes from the riparian woodlands in Southern California, from a summer walk at Los Peñasquitos Canyon a few years back. With such strong backlight it's best to simply embrace the overexposed areas than trying to fight them. :)
