Show some Yellow Organisms you’ve photographed

Still plenty of colors to go - purple, pink, green, orange. And then there’s colorless (transparent).

This is Melampodium divaricatum, which surprised me with small details when I looked more closely.

And the yellow is what always grabs the eye on a Protalebrella brasiliensis such as this, though I wonder if they are camouflaged to other creatures.

@eyekosaeder those lichen are really lovely. They remind me of sea formations.

A good amount of Erotylidae show yellow (although most are orange).

The only yellow Erotylid I’ve personally photographed is Ischyrus quadripunctatus ssp. quadripunctatus

Oh dear, how will we ever get any identifying done, when we’re having so much fun with these?

Then there are the organisms that are the most multi-colored, that is that have lots of different rainbow colors.

These are the ones I’m most excited for. While I know they exist, I have never seen a purple or pink animal in person, so I’d be curious to see some of the diversity.
For those, I’ll likely only be able to share plant blossoms. I mean, I like plants a lot, but pink and purple are pretty common colours here.

I’ve also spotted a yellow orbweaver (Argiope aurantia), but on checking with the color picker, it’s closer to aurantia than to yellow.
