Estoy realmente contento y
orgulloso de ver que una de mis fotografías aparece en el nuevo número de la revista de National Geographic y en su web. No se me ocurre mejor manera de arrancar este 2025 y de celebrar el inicio de la primavera. Muchísimas gracias.

They are amazing, but unfortunately they don't inspire sympathy in most people 😔

Look who paid me a visit last night. This gorgeous spider also known as the Mediterranean spiny false wolf spider. She wasn't in the mood to take pictures but I took advantage of her stopping for a moment to make a stack. Let's say I left my comfort zone hahaha.

I like many types of spiders, but these ones with their hair and spikes seem spectacular from a photographic point of view 😍

One of the most curious grasshoppers that can be found and really difficult to see if they remain motionless wherever they are since their camouflage is practically perfect.

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻 Macro photography is really exciting. A different way of seeing what we cannot see with the naked eye 🥰

Macro photography is not only about extreme close-ups or artistic photos, it can also be mixed with monochrome and minimalism. What do you think?

It is nocturnal. During the day it takes refuge under stones or in dark places. Its food consists mainly of insects and small arthropods.
