Macro Week #14 – Day 4.
This bumblebee was hibernating stuck to the flower on a cold April morning. Easy picture.

Bug’s Life.
Last macro insect for now. They all stayed surprisingly still. This one was actually being filmed as I was taking the picture.
-
Hemiptera.
Another from the macro studio workshop, hence the black background and no noise. This time a Shield Bug (Hemiptera).

Day 7: Green Hopper.
So I chased the sound of this little thing for around half hour until I got close enough (15cm) to take a photo. Grass in the way of the lens was a problem but I didn’t want to ‘use’ it this time (see previous post). Bonus ant top right.

Day 3: Bee Low.
Pardon the pun but this was a very low angle to shoot from. Similar to the beach photo, I was lying down, this time on wet grass. The drops of water are from very recent rainfall. No idea what the flower is, as always. Help much appreciated!

Day 2: Phaenicia sericata
Fancy latin name for a common green bottle fly. Pro-tip for handheld insect photos: Use manual focus and spam the shutter button. Even if there’s no wind, breathing will put the focus off so with 20-40 shots you should have at least one in focus.

Butterflies And Lack Thereof.
This pretty much sums up this year’s butterfly abundance, though this could also be a wasp nesting.
