l'horizon est droit, mais le moindre souffle de vent oblige le papillon à corriger sa position.

à moins qu'il ne se soit adapté à l'angle de la fleur :D

An extreme close up of a common grass yellow butterfly nectaring on some beautiful tiny wildflowers. It was so busy, it didn't mind me getting that close.

A grey pansy butterfly on Leea indica flowers. I am always looking for backlit shots of butterflies, and getting this one facing me at the same time was a much welcome bonus.

We found this beautiful plant hopper in the forest. It had this lovely ridge pattern all over it's wings that we had never seen before. It was also resting, so we could get our clicks from desired angles.

A bark mantis on a - er - bark. Da adly the poor fellow has one of his hind legs cut off.

A mayfly on a leaf. Thogh they are not that uncommon, it was my first time sighting this beauty, and fortunately it sat still enough for me to get a decent photo.

lens used - jupiter-37a 135mm

To be honest, I didn't notice the spider until I'd looked at the photograph of the beetle back on my camera's LCD screen.

The camera was a Canon 400D SLR, while the lens a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

An Australian blue banded bee hovering near a flower for nectar.

L’abeille, concentrée et élégante, fend l’air en quête de vie. Une merveille de précision capturée dans le silence d’un instant.

Los sírfidos son una familia de dípteros braquíceros cuyos adultos liban el néctar de las flores adoptando el aspecto de himenópteros como las abejas y las avispas.

The small tortoiseshell is a colourful Eurasian butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Adults feed on nectar and may hibernate over winter; in warmer climates they may have two broods in a season. While the dorsal surface of the wings is vividly marked, the ventral surface is drab, providing camouflage. (Wikipedia) Aysgarth, Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom

Okay, I shot it because I loved the green colors and amazing textures.

Owlfly eggs on the stem of some wild grass. Amazing to see how well they stack them while laying.
