Small things seen up close. Work in progress…# 2 (Poll Included)

That could well be what is happening here...

Zygaena fausta…

Really cool. Looks like a duke, a viscount, a baron, a knight, or a lord... wearing a cape!

You are absolutely right; according to the dictionary:
Fausto/fausta, from the Latin fastus: luxury, pomp.
Synonyms: splendor, luxury, pomp, pageantry, lavishness, magnificence, ostentation, solemnity, elaborate display.

It is crucial that display devices be calibrated as accurately as possible. If the content creator's screen is not calibrated, only they see the images exactly as intended; consequently, everything they present online appears differently to the rest of the world.

Ideally, both the creator's and the observer's displays should be calibrated to maintain fidelity...

Agree :-)
…in fact it is the whole visual pathway that needs to be “calibrated” to deliver the intended image correctly.
Recently people are coming back from the opticians with new “computer glasses” that have an inbuilt blue filter. According to the marketing blurb that filter is apparently to help “relax your eyes and help you sleep better”. But, with less blue all the colours look warmer. So, even a photographer with a calibrated monitor, wearing such glasses, editing an image, would be tempted to add more blue during pp to make their image look “normal” . Everyone else viewing that edited image on a calibrated monitor could perhaps wonder why it is more blue than “expected”

Some i-pads, phones & monitors have a “night mode” that will do the same if switched on.

My monitors are calibrated and it is nice to be able to send an image to my printer or a photo printing shop and get it back looking good.

However, I think most people (especially non photographers) just don’t care about calibrated colours, they are so used to seeing images on multiple screens or posters, all looking different, and just take it as it is.

If you print your photographs regularly, you likely calibrate your screen; however, if you don't usually print, it is not uncommon—even for a photography enthusiast—to consider it unnecessary...

Graphosoma italicum…

I noticed this Centipede wriggling quite a bit and then realised it had moved through an army of ants around a dead frog. It quickly moved on and most of the ants dropped off but it still had a few hitchhikers in this shot...

Australian Emperor - possibly the sharpest Dfly shot I have managed

I like the visible shine on these.
So, did you drill a hole and attach a string :-)

Fantastic detail!
With a 45mm eq. lens you must have been pretty close to get these, unless they are small crops from the shot? Very detailed either way!

I can see why you like it !!
