anopheline mosquito larvae and smooth newt tadpole

amphibian, Essex, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 10, 2012Leave a comment

A couple more species from my pond photos. First up an anopheline mosquito larvae. These larvae have the top of the body at the waters surface, unlike the culicine mosquito larvae which have just their breathing tube. This made a reflection shot easier. I also got a head on shot. I also got a couple…

Pond Skater Gerris sp

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, heteroptera, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 13, 20112 Comments

Here are a few shots of a pond skater a took a few weeks back. These true bugs or heteropterans stand on the surface tension of the water and ‘skate’ across it to catch insects that become trapped in the water. These were all taken using my photographic aquarium, which was full to the brim,…

Backswimmers Notonecta

More from my pond photography back in February. This time the backswimmer or greater water boatman photos. These insects are one of the true bugs (heteroptera) a group of insects characterised by their mouthparts which have fused into a proboscis. You can see it clearly in this photo. I also got a couple of new…

Broad bodied chaser nymph, smooth newt tadpole and hawker dragonfly nymphs

amphibian, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 5, 20111 Comment

Some more pond photos. For this broad bodied chaser nymph I used image stacking. I also tried some image stacking on some smooth newt tadpoles. And this damselfly nymph. I also took some typical macros of this hawker dragonfly nymph, which had just shed its skin and was light green in colour.

Hawker dragonfly nymph close up

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 4, 2011Leave a comment

Here is an image of a hawker dragonfly nymph that has just shed its skin (hence the light colouration), that I took using my photographic aquarium.  I managed to increase the depth of field by using image stacking (combining a few images focused at different distances).

Damselfly nymph, backswimmer and lesser water boatman

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, heteroptera, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 6, 20113 Comments

Here are some pond creature photos I took way back in January using my photographic aquarium. First up a nice damselfly larva. Im not 100% sure on the species but it would be either common or azure blue, or a blue tailed damselfly. I also got a number of lesser water boatman photos. I got…
