Butterflies, Moths and Assorted Insects...

[becceric]

The peacocks have been patient that day so I was able to take some shots with the 15mm Laowa wide angle macro lens (Iso 1600, 1/500s)

Original width and only a few mm distance between lens and butterfly.

I like the senic view, and I hope you both are on a first name basis.

Few more from my weekend... So far I didn't have a time for ID.

Very nice shots, ISv. I especially like the first one. Well done.

I don't know what fly this is on a bramble. R5 + 100-400mm at 1.16m distance, about 0.4x.

Nice shot, Alan. I can't help you with the fly, but lovely flower.

A couple of shots from Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire . All live insects photographed in the wild wherever I find them. All shot handheld with the 80D and either the EF-S 60mm or MPE-65,.

Few days ago my wife started complaining that something is eating hers precious lemons on the lanai (she is growing them from seeds and they are ~10-25cm tall so far). And she found the perpetrator but I didn't have the time to take a photo of it's original shape/colors. The ID was very easy - we have just one species of Swallowtail in Hawaii: Papilio xhuthus. Just one day later it changed it's skin (obviously the 4th change when they get green and somewhat different shape: before that they are looking like bird poops - you can find photos on the Internet!).
Not really good shot (after work, low light in windy weather...) but the caterpillar is really nice!

Stunning caterpillar. Nicely shot.

I really like the tracking of the R5!
