Spiderweb and dandelions - it's so fascinating to see how many different insects you can find inside dandelions in spring (I think these may be Syrphidae and Anthocoris nemoralis, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Some bees and flowers pics

I really love taking photos of bees <3

This pics where shooted after I saw some videos about an italian analog photographer (Paolo Potalivo). His words ispired me so much! I tried to pay more attention to light and the way it interacts with objects. The results are not perfect, but I'm not looking for perfection, this blog is like a diary that documents my growth as I learn; and I'm happy to share this journey with you all <3

Varanus komodoensis (Drago di Komodo, Komodo Dragon)

Wiki at the park:

Komodo dragons are apex predators.They are carnivores; although they have been considered as eating mostly carrion, they will frequently ambush live prey with a stealthy approach.

"Aww, look at this beautiful princess lizard!"

The Reptile Room

Me and my gf got obsessed over reptiles because we love to watch Clint's Reptiles channel (He makes a lot of interesting videos about reptiles). So being able to see this part of the park was really a beautiful experience for me. I was able to see a lot of Reptiles and some insects I've never seen before! Unfortunately for the pics, but good for the animals, some of them were very difficult to shoot, because they all have their own "habitat" recreated and some of that habitat was very dark and with lots of spots to hide... But I'm pretty happy with the pics I got here <3

Animals in these pics:

1 (Not sure) Physignathus cocincinus (Drago d'acqua cinese)

2 Osteolaemus tetraspis (Coccodrillo nano africano)

3 Varanus cumingi (Varano d'acqua delle Filippine )

4 Dendrobates tinctorius (Dendrobatidi)

5 (Not sure) Weber's sailfin lizard ?

6 Hydrosaurus pustulatus (Idrosauro delle Filippine )

7 Bombina pachypus (Ululone italiano)

The dream animals to a photographer, they stay very still so you can catch them on focus xD
