I think it's a male Green-veined. See this link: https://butterfly-conservation.org/butterflies/southern-small-white, could be useful, unfortunately only females are illustrated.

Moths (still my daughter production) and some beetles... I'm sorry for the last one - she didn't succeed to make a good photo of this one, otherwise it could make a nice Halloween character !

Happy Halloween to every one who celebrates it!
I hope it's scary enough (EricN?! )!

Try Pieris mannii. I don't know in which part of Germany u are but it seems to be widening it's range

I got this now confirmed by an entomologist. It is a p. mannii.
Thank you for that hint, ISv.

Great shot!

Thanks! My daughter is the author. With 500mm lens I have no chance for such a shot.

I have seen them many times back in the time. Not very difficult to ID, especially the females. Note that oddly shaped black spot on the fore-wings. Sometimes concave, sometimes somewhat unclear "x" and not round.

A paper wasp. Could be either polistes dominula or p. gallicus.
Both could be found here. And differentiation is quite difficult with these photos.
