Great one with nice lighting giving structure details.

This creature is slowly disapeairing from our countryside (in France). First culprit : regroupings of land which destroyed miles of hedges.]


Caterpillars can be very colourful :

Caterpillar of Cucullia scrophulariphila.

Thanks a lot :-) I must miss the caterpillar season, I haven't a decent shot of one...! Most of my butterflies are from the island of Porquerolles...!

Wonderful series. And one post with photos of my favorite, now-sold lens: the Zeiss 135mm f2 APO.

Hi all,
beautiful macros post here. Let me share some butterflies from Muenster in Germany. I think the key for photographing butterflies is observation. Knowing the behavior of the insect  gives you information about when is the right moment to photograph them. For example, late afternoon, very early in the morning or after rain many insects in general including butterflies cannot fly (you can literally touch them), is in my opinion the best time point  for"photo shooting" them.





By the way, the first one was acquired with the Micro Nikkor 105mm F4 + PN-11, the second one with the Nikon Series E 75-150mm + Close-up filter 3T.


Best regards,
Ramón

Don't despair. Think out of the box.

Hunt those flutterbies that got away. As an example.
