Here is a pretty little female wandering percher, resting awhile. Only for a second though, they are wary and fly off when approaching too close.

Open wing Basking of Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758) – Plain Tiger (Female). This specimen belongs to subspecies Danaus chrysippus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758) – Oriental Plain Tiger in India.
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)

Butterfly, berry & bokeh :-)
“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.”

I will be taking a break from Flickr for a few days, my friends...
This is the same butterfly as yesterday's post, but now you can see the lovely Azure color that it is named for.
I waited patiently for this tiny butterfly to open its wings. For the longest time it refused. But finally it obliged me and I was not disappointed. I wish it had been completely open and flat, displaying more wing surface, but beggars can’t be choosers. God's creatures are so beautiful, aren’t they?!!
Have a great new week, everyone.
The Copper Chafer (Protaetia cuprea) is a 14–20 mm beetle with a metallic sheen ranging from copper-red to green. Active from May to August in gardens, meadows, and woodland edges, adults feed on nectar and pollen and act as pollinators, while the larvae live in decaying wood and humus-rich soil, breaking down organic matter. In this way, the species contributes both to pollination and soil fertility.

A lovely Osmylops species lacewing was resting on a window. With camera settings and no flash, I was able to highlight its ephemeral, enchanting beauty against the dark background.
I learned that Osmylops represent a possibly more primitive kind of broad-winged nymphid that produce single-stalked eggs which yield flattened, disc-like, arboreal larvae.
This is a ventral view. 15 mm body length.

Bugs take on a whole new perspective when you get in close.

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.

I had not seen one of these until today! The Narcissus Fly is a member of the Hoverfly family, and they are absolutely stunning!
Hairy Dragonfly, during an overcast spell in Norfolk. This is not a macro image, taken with a 300mm F2.8+1.4TC.
This shot of a Syrphid hoverfly highlights the crucial role that flies play in pollination.
Pollen sticks to the hairs that cover the entire body and is then transferred from plant to plant.
Flies have been documented to be primary pollinators for many plant species, both wild and cultivated.
Seen here on native Callistemon.
