What would you do if you were handed this bunch of What would you do if you were handed this bunch of flowers?!🕷️💐 . . . 2015: The person who gave me these flowers was horrified when they realised they had actually gifted me an unexpected arachnid. I was of course delighted and snapped away. I love this photo, its been my desktop picture ever since. For me it highlights the unplanned (and 8 legged) rewards of being brave, leaving the comfort zone behind and doing what you love. . . . #spider #arachnid #natgeoyourshot #earthcapture #naturephotography #flower #bouquet #mindblown #wildlifebiologist #spidersofinstagram #love #nature #geek #naturelover #spiderverse #spiderweb @wholelottabugs #wholelottabugs @arthropod_perfection #arthropod_perfection #travel #travelphotography #adventure #comfortzone
Would you have a beer with an pint-sized predator? Would you have a beer with an pint-sized predator? 🐜🍻 . . . 2015: On the rare occasion that I had a drink to toast a good day in the jungle, for some reason, baby mantises would appear! I have no idea why they only turned up when I had a pint in hand but I was pleased to have a drinking buddy. Praying mantises are usually well camouflaged amongst the leaves, the perfect place to wait for prey to pass by. They then leap out, with astonishing speed, using their spikey forearms to ensnare their dinner. . . . #mantis #insect #arthropod #naturephotography #macro #beers #entomology #wildlifephotography #earthcapture #natgeoyourshot #nakedplanet #animalsofinstagram #nature #love #happyplace #arthropod_perfection #insectsofinstagram #insectguru #wholelottabugs #King_macro #top_macro #Macro_spotlight #macro_highlight #macro_freaks #insectweek21 @insects_of_our_world @raw_insects @wholelottabugs @bbcearth @beautiful_insects_japan @total_insects
A splash of colour 🎨🤩 . . . 2015: I was told A splash of colour 🎨🤩 . . . 2015: I was told that if I wanted to see birds up close, I should head to a clay lick. These are areas where there is a natural build up of minerals on the rocks and animals gather in large numbers to nibble away. For parrots like these, the minerals actually help to counteract toxicity build up from all the fruits and berries they eat. I love this photo, it reminds me of chaos and almost overwhelming noise of these parrots eating. . . . #bird #colour #wildlife #earthshot #nakedplanet #wildlifeplanet #parrot #nature #instadaily #naturephotography
Monkey Tails 🐒📚 . . . 2014: The purpose of m Monkey Tails 🐒📚 . . . 2014: The purpose of my trip was to join a conservation project. Amazingly this involved caring for baby monkeys (who had been orphaned) - and I fell head over heels for this little lady. This is Ila. The aim was to get the babies ready for eventual release into the forest and Ila had a long way to go. She needed to learn how to use her prehensile tail. To help with this, whilst she ate and played, we would wrap her tail around branches for her, in the hope she’d get the hang of it 😏. It was such a proud feeling to see her finally do it all by herself one day! . . . #Cute #Monkey #Love #Nature #Photography #TheWildlifeBiologist #AnimalsOfInstagram #Baby #Conservaton #Tail #Prehensile #HangingAbout

Slow Summer Lovin’ ❤️🐍 . . . Not snakes! Slow Summer Lovin’ ❤️🐍 . . . Not snakes! These lovers are actually slow worms, a type of legless lizard. And I caught these two in the act 👀! Well... almost. Males will bite the females to try and get them in the mood, and, er, it looks like this female bites back! I don’t think it was working out for them though, as they ended up slithering off in different directions. (which may or may not have had something to do with the pair of human spectators) 🙈😅 #sorry . . . #slowworm #britishwildlife #summerlove #lizard #herper #britishwildlifehub #nature_spotlight #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #bbcwildlifepotd #earthcapture #bbcearth #cornwallwildlife #wildlifeig #wildlifeonearth #natgeowildlife #ukwildlifeimages #raw_herpetology #nuts_about_wildlife #nuts_about_nature #wildlife_perfection #natureshot #nature #geek
My first ever freedive in the UK’s chilly waters My first ever freedive in the UK’s chilly waters, to the dizzy depths of 3 whole meters, to meet this spider crab. . . . Spider crabs have spiny shells and can be hard to spot underwater. They use muscus-y saliva to glue seaweed to their shells to blend in with their surroundings. They’re also pretty feisty, this one squared up to my camera with great gusto! . . . #uwphotography #arachnids #snorkelling #uk #freedive #apnea #spidercrab #spikey #mucus #feisty #crabby #ocean #seaside
