For close-up focusing with the iPhone, I use one of the lenses that I disassembled from the objective of a pair of binoculars and put it in the plastic eyepiece holder. The rubber goes through two holes and the knots hold it in place without the need for adhesives. So I can easily remove the lens for cleaning.

Para enfocar de cerca con el iPhone, uso una de las lentes que he desmontado del objetivo de unos binoculares y que he metido en el soporte de plástico del ocular. Los dos nudos de la goma que pasa por dos agujeros la mantienen en su lugar sin necesidad de usar adhesivos. Así puedo extraer la lente fácilmente para limpiarla.

Zum Fokussieren im Nahbereich mit dem iPhone verwende ich eine der Linsen, die ich vom Objektiv eines Fernglases abgenommen und in den Plastik-Okularhalter eingesetzt habe. Das Gummi wird durch zwei Löcher gezogen, und die Knoten halten es an seinem Platz, ohne dass Klebstoffe nötig sind. So kann ich die Linse zum Reinigen leicht herausnehmen.

As I usually do, I photographed this Eristalinus tenax fly by placing on the main camera of my iPhone my favorite lens, which I disassembled from a small binoculars. I like the reduction of depth of field and the bokeh achieved, to my taste more beautiful than the one obtained with the macro mode of the smartphone. January, Valencia.

Como suelo hacer, he fotografiado esta mosca Eristalinus tenax colocando sobre la cámara principal de mi iPhone mi lente favorita, que desmonté de unos pequeños binoculares.

Wie immer habe ich diese Eristalinus tenax-Fliege fotografiert, indem ich mein Lieblingsobjektiv, das ich neben einem kleinen Fernglas mitgenommen habe, auf die Hauptkamera meines iPhone gesetzt habe.

This grasshopper could be a Pezotettix giornae because of those curious stunted wings that make it look like the nymph of another species. I am just an amateur and it is difficult for me to identify and differentiate species.

January, north of Alicante.

iPhone 15 Pro main camera + the lens of binoculars for close focusing.

Este saltamontes podría ser un Pezotettix giornae por esas curiosas alas atrofiadas que le hacen parecer la ninfa de otra especie. Sólo soy un aficionado y me resulta difícil identificar y diferenciar especies.

Bei dieser Heuschrecke könnte es sich um Pezotettix giornae handeln, denn die seltsam verkümmerten Flügel lassen sie wie die Nymphe einer anderen Art aussehen. Ich bin nur ein Amateur und es fällt mir schwer, Arten zu identifizieren und zu unterscheiden.

This Zoropsis spinimana spider was lucky not to fall into the fire in my chimney. It was walking on one of the logs.

The crab spider, Thomisus onustus, is able to adapt the coloration of its body to the space it inhabits, usually on flowers from where it stalks its prey. Their venom acts quickly, allowing them to capture insects larger than themselves: bees, butterflies and hoverflies.

Die Krabbenspinne, Thomisus onustus, kann ihre Farbe ändern, um sich in dem von ihr bewohnten Raum zu tarnen, normalerweise in Blumen, von denen aus sie ihre Beute jagt. Ihr Gift wirkt schnell, was es ihnen ermöglicht, Insekten zu fangen, die größer sind als sie selbst: Bienen, Schmetterlinge und Schwebfliegen.

It looks like a bee, feeds like a bee, pollinates like a bee... but it is not a bee. Episyrphus balteatus is a syrphid, a fly that appears to be a honeybee as a method of self-defense because it does not have a stinger.

When it gets dark I usually look to see if there are any bees on leaves and branches getting ready to sleep because they look so cute to me. This bee I think is an Anthophora fulvitarsis.

Valencia, end of November.

Cuando anochece suelo mirar si hay alguna abeja en hojas y ramas preparándose para dormir porque me parecen una monada.

When some airplanes managed to return without some parts of the wings it was evident that these were not essential to fly. This Vanessa atalanta butterfly flies perfectly well without that piece of wing that may have been torn off by a bird...
