Red Admirals (Vanessa atalanta) are one of the commoner late season #butterflies around here, but I just can't pass one up without yet another photo. It is such a zap of colour in the dun landscape of fall. This one is feeding on Daisy Fleabane (I think). #WildHungary #insects #bugs

Autumn Crocus (Colchicum autumnale) ... a sudden splash colour on the dull brown forest floor. Beautiful but deadly. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Native to Europe where it grows in the wild, but also cultivated as an ornamental plant. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

One for #MacroMonday ... the Wolf of Wall Street. Well, not exactly. More like the wolf of Velencei-tó 😄 Hungary has some great wolf spider species. I think this one is Hogna radiata but not sure. Notice mom is carrying some babies on her back. #WildHungary #spiders #wolfspiders #arachnids

It's a #FroggyFriday 😄 Here's an Edible Frog (Pelophylax kl esculentus) enjoying some slime time! Better watch out buddy! The egrets are out to get ya! 😱 #WildHungary #frogs #amphibians #ribbit

Just another #MacroMonday Who remembers the Coneheads from #SaturdayNightLive? 😄 Here's a real life conehead... the Cone-headed Grasshopper (Acrida ungarica) aka Helmeted Locust. Hungary's largest locust species. This one was nice enough to land on my windshield #WildHungary #insects #bugs

You've heard of the Matrix? Well this is the Natrix. 😅 Natrix natrix aka Grass Snake. The yellow and black collar is a diagnostic field mark for this non-venomous snake. Usually found near water where it feeds on amphibians. #WildHungary #snakes #reptiles

♀️ Wall Brown (Lasiommata megera) for #MacroMonday This common butterfly gets its name from its habit of sunning itself on stone and brick walls. #WildHungary #butterflies #bugs #insects #lepidoptera
