“In her photos as well as in her pictorial works of art, Bandurek stands out for her visual acuity and sensitivity at capturing the natural world. Something striking in her photographic work lies in the sensitivity she possesses to spot beauty in the tiny, along with her ductility with which she captures the photographic instant, the detail. She holds a unique sense which enables her to pay attention to that which not all of us could see, highlighted by the passion she gets from nature”

Remember.. dont manipulate amphibians when you are out taking pictures, their skin is highly permeable and they are vulnerable to toxics. Imagine when you are in the middle of the jungle probbably you are full of OFF or some insect repellent to try to avoid mosquitos and other insect bites.. and you can transfer the toxics to frogs... just we always need put #naturefirst before photography...

🕷"Spiders usually produce an unpleasant feeling and rejection in most people, but if we start to know them a little more, surely our perception of these living beings will be slowly being replaced by respect and admiration.
🕷There are spiders with "maternal instincts" that care for their eggs, some even carry them wherever they go in a kind of bag they weave called ootheca. Other species, once the offspring born and until they grow up and become independent, move them on their bodies.
🕷We can also think of their magnificent fabrics, some of them with almost perfect, orbicular, structures, including some of exceptional sizes, especially when compared to the size of whoever builds them.
Another peculiarity is the resistance of the silk with which they make their fabric, as in the case of the imposing spider golden silk, which is now under investigation in laboratories for being the silk of their fabrics tougher than a steel wire of the same thickness, a property that suggests many uses and applications in engineering."

In this design trial, Nature allowed some toxic, biting or poisonous insects, to have bright colors and flashy designs; these are warning colors, a strategy called aposematism. Instead of going unnoticed, they warn potential predators that they are preys unpleasant to eat, with bad tastes or poisons. Eventually, predators learn that some combination of colors produces an unpleasant experience, and then they avoid repeating it. Bold, bright colors, like a traffic light, mark danger and need to stop.
To save a card for when the game requires it, is a cunning worthy not only of human beings. The term flash coloring refers to the resource some animals have, to try to disorient a potential predator making visible a drawing or striking pattern that usually remains hidden. This action can be observed in some butterflies, which have designs on their wings that emulate large eyes, pretending to be part of an individual of colossal dimensions, at this relationship of scales. The reverse process of gradually hiding when facing the possible situation of becoming prey, overshadowing colors or displaying a less noticeable part of the body, is called color fading.

Leaf hopper - Cicadellidae with a cryptic coloration
In this race for survival, some of our players developed the ability to go unnoticed both to their predators, in some cases, as to their preys, in others. This capability, which allows them to complete their life cycle to many of them, is called crypsis or cryptic coloration, and gives the individual the power to blend in with their surroundings. Such capability has amazing variants. There are individuals who can resemble objects from their own surrounding area, which is called homomorfía (same form, same shape). Others can take advantage of the colorful environment to take from them identical visual patterns, such property is described under the name of homocromía (same color). Another strategy that works to the same end is to have patterns of spots that allow them to conceal the contours, called disruptive coloration.
These possibilities are expressed in a wide range of faboulous intermediate and extremes, and can lead the likeness to such degrees of similarity that we can not distinguish the individual from its environment.

Spotted maize beetle or pollen beetle. Astylus atromaculatus is a specie from Argentina in the family Melyriae. As its aposematic coloration show us, this beetle is toxic. There were case of livestock deths as a result of swallowing large numbers o beetles on their forage or in pasture.

Survival in the natural world has always proved to be a complex task, generating enormous creative potential; it has been the architect of unusual strategies and adaptations.
The diversity and the most varied relationships of forms are the result of their interactions with the environment and their various situations. This constant and never ending race of living beings to dispute a place in the conquest of life has enabled Nature to unfold infinite variants in every situation, since time rushes inexorably on the path of evolution. The astronomical number of individuals allows an unimaginable source of tests, proofs, errors and successes to the most varied problems. An infinite laboratory led by virtually tiny forms anticipates the creation of all possible inventions, either imagined or to be discovered. That is why insects were able to build condominiums with air conditioning, build acoustic equipment, make paper, take slaves, cultivate gardens, breed other animals, create their own oxygen tanks to breathe under water and cause explosions, among many other amazing adaptations, ahead of many human inventions.
