Macro: Earwig / Ohrwurm

in #photography7 years ago

Actually, I just wanted to take pictures of the drops of water on the reeds.

Eigentlich wollte ich nur die Wassertropfen auf dem Schilf fotografieren.

Earwig / Ohrwurm

I think I should visit the optician of my confidence again soon, because I recognized the earwig only at second glance.

Ich glaube, ich sollte demnächst wieder mal beim Optiker meines Vertrauens vorbeischauen, denn den Ohrwurm habe ich erst auf den zweiten Blick erkannt.

Who does not know the stories that the earwig creeps secretly into the ear during the night and tears the eardrum with its sharp pliers so that it gets into the cranium to lay its eggs there?
This is of course all nonsense, but many people actually believe in it and are afraid of this harmless insect.
The earwig uses the dangerous-looking pliers while hunting, but it does not tear the eardrum, and the female earwig lays her eggs in self built burrows or under bark.

Wer kennt die Geschichten nicht, dass der Ohrwurm in der Nacht heimlich in das Ohr kriecht und das Trommelfell mit seinen scharfen Zangen zerreißt, damit er in die Schädelhöhle gelangt, um dort seine Eier abzulegen?
Das ist natürlich alles Blödsinn, aber viele Menschen glauben tatsächlich daran und haben vor diesem harmlosen Insekt Angst.
Der Ohrwurm verwendet die gefährlich aussehende Zange zwar auf der Jagd, aber er Trommelfell zerreißt er damit keines, und seine Eier legt das Ohrwurmweibchen in selbstgebauten Erdhöhlen oder unter Rinde ab.

Der kleine Ohrwurm hat es auch verdient, dass alle wissen, dass er nicht böse ist 😉

There is a dew on the leaf.?

Yes, @akhimoni, these drops are morning dew 😊

At first I was quite afraid of this insect!! Then, you said it’s all wrong! That’s a relief!
Nice rain drops! Oh! We need lots of rain!

We have had quite some rain in the past few days, but now the weathe ris getting better, and I think, the rain clouds are moving towards you ;)

We have grown up with this creepy story about this strange looking insect, but it is really harmless, and I am glad that many people, including you, now know, that they do not need to be afraid of it :)

Thank you very much, dear @kaminchan, I wish you a great day 😊

Thank you for your kind reply!
Wishing you a wonderful day!

earwig is the model of your photographs.

Every day I try to find a different model. On that day it was the earwig, which I have found on that reed.
Thank you for your kind comment.

What a cool shot of the drops and earwig I remember when I was young I was of the belief that earwigs could do that LOL

I think, this story is quite the same around the whole world. Thank you, JJ, and have a nice day :)

It seems it is you to have a nice day

Thank you - my work day is already over, but the sky has become gray and it might rain shortly. Maybe I'll go for a short walk later on, but it depends on the weather :)

I hope the weather behaves and lets you get a walk in, I have been in meetings al morning but now the day gets quieter for me I hope :)

The weather was very nice, so I went for a ride on the motorbike ... and got soaked, but I don't mind, it was a nice ride anyway :)
Hope, the rest of your day stays quiet and you have a nice afternoon ;)

Sorry you got soaked but must have been good to get out just about to head to another meeting that came up at short notice I would rather bang my head against a brick wall than go to the meeting but I will get through it thinking about photos lol

Yes, it was a good ride anyway ;)
You should think about a long long exposure shot, maybe longer than the meeting lasts ;)

Hello Earwig !!!

Howdy sir johannpiber! Why did you want to take pictures of drops of water? That is one ugly bug. I can see why it has a bad rap.

Hey, grumpy @janton is back, where have you been? I have missed you 😉

Good morning my friend 😄
I love such waterdrop photos, although I make them very seldom. There's even a large photo of a green leaf with waterdrops in our living room 😁

This bug looks strange, I know, but it is completely harmless.

Howdy sir johannpiber! let me guess, you don't kill bugs, right?
You have a photo of a green leaf with waterdrops in your living room? I'm sure that says something about your pyschological health but I'm not sure what. lol.

Oh, I do kill bugs - accidently, when I don't watch my feet ;)
I never said that I am mentally healthy 😉 lol

lol...then you fit right in here! Hey it's Friday! Another week that you don't have to work is gone and it's one week closer to retirement! What's on the agenda for the weekend?

Good morning @janton 😊

Yeah, one week less :)))

It was raining all day long yesterday and also last night. It is 7:30 am and it's cold and gray outside. I'll wait awhile and maybe I just go for a walk before lunch, if the weather becomes a bit nicer :)

I wish you a great weekend too 😊

Well I don't do anything different in my routine from the rest of the week but you do. Hey with all that rain you will be able to get some more great water drop photos! lol. Since you are addicted to those.

Routine is boring, @janton ;)
I always try to do something different, although most of my life is routine too, especially at work.
Good idea, I'll try to get some nice drops ;)
