A day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae (Adscita or Jordanita?) perched on a Knautia arvensis 🩵🩷 Happy #InsectThursday 🦋 #flowers #bloomscrolling #thelittlethings #EastCoastKin #ECK

A small moth with a metallic blue/green colouring on a pink flower.
The females of both genera have very similar, simple antennae (not comb-like). Consequently, definitive identification of the species almost always requires dissection and microscopic examination of the genitalia by an entomologist.

Thanks! Ciao Marra 🏔🙋🏼‍♀️ from a proud member of the Salassi tribe 😄

A blonde woman in sportswear looks at the camera. Her hair is tousled by a strong wind. She is wearing a winter jacket even though it is summer, because the weather at that altitude is often cold.
Behind her are the Granta Parey peak, Lake Goletta and the glacier.

Oriental poppies for a brilliant Wednesday ❤️ #ColorADay #RedWed #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #thelittlethings #Alps #EastCoastKin #ECK

The Oriental poppy is a herbaceous perennial from the Papaveraceae family, native to Asia.
The cultivar 'Brilliant' is a proven horticultural selection. This plant has sturdy stems 70 cm to about 1 m tall. It forms a bush reaching 45 cm in height (due to foliage) and 50 cm in width.
Flowering begins in early June and continues into July.

A robust and long-lived Celtis australis (European nettle tree) native to the Mediterranean area ☀️ Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday 🌳 #EastCoastKin #ECK I 💚 #trees

The tree can grow to 25 metres (82 ft) in height, though 10 m (33 ft) is more common in cooler climates. The bark is smooth and grey, almost elephantine.

The alternate leaves are narrow and sharp-toothed, rugose above and tomentose below, 5–15 centimetres (2–6 in) long and dark grey/green throughout the year, fading to a pale yellow before falling in autumn.

The apetalous wind-pollinated flowers are perfect (hermaphrodite, having both male and female organs), small and green, either singly or in small clusters.

The fruit is a small, dark-purple berry-like drupe, 1 cm wide, hanging in short clusters.
