Hi Everyone,
For details, best viewed in Large
Yesterday I decided to walkabout with my relatively new 100 mm macro lens with intent to capture butterflies and any other insects that I could find. This image is but one of too many! (I had waaay too much fun)! lol
I truly appreciate your comments and views. THANK YOU! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Fin de journée, belle retrouvaille depuis l'année pasée, sur fond de lumière tamisée et d'herbes en fer forgé par des températures précocement élevées

Last day of Moth week. I thought this funky guy would be a great ending shot. I still have more to share but will just mix them in with my other shots in the future.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
A Snipe Fly that I came across earlier today. I'm not sure of the sub-species, but it was quite small (around 15mm long)

Image is of the working end (ie the head end) of a Cecropia Caterpillar, as it munches through a massive amount of cherry tree leaves. This is the same caterpillar that I photographed a few weeks back but now almost twice the size.

The flies visit flowers or bask on leaves, especially in the morning and afternoon. Males are territorial: they chase other insects from a lookout, often a leaf, by flying after them, then return to their post. The flies hibernate in sheltered places, such as bunkers, slurry pits and caves. They often gather there in large groups (Van der Vlies 2005). Males die in winter, only females survive the winter alive. The larvae have been described by Hartley (1961). They live in watery environments with a lot of organic material, both animal and vegetable, and can even develop in manure. They are particularly resistant to low-oxygen conditions; hence the name tenax, meaning "tough". There are even known cases of larvae developing in the rectum of humans.
The Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) is a beautiful butterfly species belonging to the Nymphalidae family. Found in parts of Asia, including India and Southeast Asia, it has distinctive markings on its wings, which give it its name.
Color and Pattern: The upper wings of the Peacock Pansy are golden brown with orange, brown, and black markings, including four eye spots on the forewings. The underside of the wings has a more muted brownish appearance, with subtle patterns that help it blend into its environment.
Behavior: The Peacock Pansy is known for its erratic flight and is often seen basking in the sun or flying short distances. Its flight is typically low and slow, making it easier to spot.
