#Comma #butterfly showing the “comma”. With their wings open, these butterflies are bright orange and easy to spot. With wings closed they are easily mistaken for a dead leaf. @wwtworldwide@mastodonapp.uk #nature #wildlife #invertebrates #insects #lepidoptera #butterflies

@Adrenochrome I hate that #AI has done this to me but I now find myself questioning every “magical” or “perfect” image I see and there’s something very “off” about this image…

They’re only 1mm long but bright orange so easy enough to spot if your eyes are up to it 🤓

“The beacons are lit!” The annual environmental disaster that is The 11th Night is in full swing across Belfast. It’s been hot with no rain for over a week. We’re told to be careful and not take barbecues into the countryside - but bonfires are “traditional” 🤦 #belfast #TheTwelfth #11thNight

@luckychronic Here’s a shot I took a few years ago of a raindrop hitting a Greenfinch. There’s just too much water in the Robin shot. Compare the size of the in-focus drop, the sheer amount of water in the “crown” splash and all the other raindrops in the image. Also, as others have stated, the bird would most definitely show some reaction to having been hit on the head like that. It’s 100% an AI construction.

@HarriettMB@toot.wales Yeah, macro can be a nightmare for depth-of-field. You can push the f-stop but that needs loads of light. I made myself a diffuser for my flashgun out of a Pringles can - works quite well! Also, that’s a hoverfly 😉
