I found my old Sony Xperia ZR in the closet and decided to turn it on and shoot a video. I remembered about the AR fun function. It looks good for those times, only the video slows down a bit :(

So I tried to capture a rainbow in a video with a large optical zoom. But where the rainbow begins and where the rainbow ends, I could not see :)

During the feeding of ducks, two families of ducklings nearly messed up with each other and one of the adult ducks had to drive away a duckling from another family.

The beautiful sky after the strong storm. In the evening, the thunderstorm ended and an unusual sight appeared in the sky: the departing dark thunderclouds lit by the rays of sunset. It looked very unusual and apocalyptic. Amazing nature.

Usually cats are afraid of cucumbers, especially if you quietly put a cucumber behind the cat. But not this cat. She just loves to eat fresh cucumbers. A real vegetarian cat.

When it comes to personal hygiene, cats are the epitome of cleanliness. They are naturally equipped with the implements to groom themselves: a barbed tongue with which to tidy yourself up. Sometimes my cat takes care of me too, it’s very ticklish but cute.

The best way to wean a cat from walking on the table is to put the adhesive tape there with the sticky side up. Having paws once on adhesive tape, the cat will no longer want to run where it is not supposed to. This is the simplest and fastest way to painlessly explain to a cat that he cannot be climbed everywhere. This method has been tested more than once, so I assure you that it will definitely work and your cat will forget the way to the prohibited territory. Moreover, it looks very funny. ---------------------------------------- Music from free YouTube audio library (free use, attribution not required): South London HiFi - Sunrise Drive

Probably, everyone has already seen dozens of news about the improvement of the environmental situation in the world after the introduction of strict quarantine measures during the coronavirus pandemic. They write about reducing harmful emissions, the level of pollution of air and water bodies - and this is so, since in many countries production and automobile traffic have significantly decreased. Recently, jokes have spread in social networks about various things that are returning to the “natural habitat” due to the coronavirus. Allegedly, universal isolation led to the fact that nature began to heal from human intervention and take its own. At first, I was also skeptical of this. But today I accidentally noticed a heron in a city ditch, which leisurely moved around and caught frogs. This really struck me as meeting a heron in our country is extremely unlikely even in the wild. In addition, it is listed in the Red List of Threatened Species . And here she calmly walks through the water looking for frogs to feast on them. It really impressed me.

This natural behavior of Predaceous diving beetles in the nature of which I was able to make the video at home. Fierce predators, these beetles do not hesitate to attack prey larger then themselves, including small fish, tadpoles and frogs. Predaceous diving beetle, (family Dytiscidae), also called diving beetle, or true water beetle, any of more than 4,000 species of carnivorous, aquatic beetles (insect order Coleoptera) that prey on organisms ranging from other insects to fish larger than themselves. This beetles fly very well outside of water and are attracted to lights at night. They are most active at night and can be seen moving from one water source to another (puddles, pools, ponds, flooded roads, etc.). Walking on pool furniture and patio sets is not unusual for the adventurous beetle.

Focus: easy way to break free when hands are tied. So you can play friends, for example by offering them a bet that you can free yourself with your hands tied. This method is very simple. I myself was surprised how simple it works. Try it and you will succeed 👍.

Builders gathered to paint an chimney of great tall. It seems to me that these builders are real extremals. Or they lack a sense of self-preservation.

Cats clean themselves When it comes to personal hygiene, cats are the epitome of cleanliness. They are naturally equipped with the implements to groom themselves: a barbed tongue with which to lick, forepaws they moisten with saliva and use as a surrogate washcloth, and teeth to dig out tougher debris.

Once our cat caught a mouse, but did not eat it. He just played with her. Watching this was very funny. When the cat got tired of playing, we released the mouse into the street. I’m sure she remembered this meeting for a long time :)

Praying mantis feeds exclusively on live prey and behaves among peaceful six-legs insects, like a tiger devouring living beings. However, in his appearance, except for the deadly hunting tools, there is nothing to inspire concern. He doesn’t even have a lack of elegance, thanks to his thin waist, elegant delicate green color and long wings. He does not have huge jaws opening like scissors; on the contrary, his head ends with a sharp beak, as it were. Thanks to his movable neck, he can turn his head, turn it to the right and left, lower and raise it. Mantis is the only insect that can direct its gaze and look around, it has almost a physiognomy.

The shooting lasted 1 hour, the frequency of shots - every 2 seconds. music: Calm - Silent Partner (from free YouTube audio library)

I once noticed a rook with a very strange-shaped beak, with which he was very dexterous and did everything he intended for him - I wonder why he turned out to be so?

The female lays between 10 and 400 eggs, depending on the species. Eggs are typically deposited in a froth mass-produced by glands in the abdomen. This froth hardens, creating a protective capsule, which together with the egg mass is called an ootheca. Depending on the species, the ootheca can be attached to a flat surface, wrapped around a plant, or even deposited in the ground. Despite the versatility and durability of the eggs, they are often preyed on, especially by several species of parasitoid wasps. In a few species, mostly ground and bark mantises in the family Tarachodidae, the mother guards the eggs.

The cat first saw an aquarium with fish, but did not try to catch the fish. She just looked at the aquarium like a TV. It looked funny.

Once, while walking through the forest, I saw an unusual picture: a small mountain ash was growing right on the birch, and there were already fruits on the mountain ash. I wonder how long the mountain ash can grow this way.

The small lake has dried up from the great heat, and the fish that live in it are doomed to perish.

A special kind of inkwell is a non-spill ink bottle, which was a glass cylindrical cup, the upper part of which had the shape of an overturned cone with a small hole for a pen. Thanks to a special design that prevents ink from flowing out when tilting or turning over, the non-spill ink bottle allows carrying ready-to-use ink with you, which was very important before the invention of piston (refillable ink) and ballpoint pens.

Stalhelm (him. Stahlhelm, steel helmet) - an infantry helmet, which under this name is associated primarily with the armed forces of Germany from 1916 to 1945. Replacing during the First World War, Pickelhaube, later stalhelm became one of the most recognizable attributes of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. The helmet presented in the video, presumably from the Second World War, was found on the territory of the former USSR. After the Second World War, people did everything from these helmets: night vases, pots, children's toilets, and even a colander could do.

When we gave the cat a beetle, she began to play with him like a mouse.

Summer is come - time to June bugs. I was convinced of this when walking, I noticed under the lamp a lot of living and non-living european chafers. I was amazed how many of them gathered there. The European chafer is a beetle of the Scarabaeidae family. Formerly found only in continental Europe, this invasive species is now found at temperate latitudes in North America, where they are commonly called June bugs. The large, white grubs of A. majale feed on the roots of most cool-latitude grasses, both wild and cultivated. This has made the European chafer an enemy of lawns.

The mantis will attack anything that moves. The size in this case does not matter. I learned this from my own experience when I was shooting a praying mantis, but he suddenly attacked me and ... began to eat my finger. It felt like it didn't hurt, it was just ticklish. But if I gave him more time - I am sure that the sensations would not be the most pleasant.
