A few days ago I was informed that this insect community existed, so when I saw butterflies fluttering about today I had no choice but to grab the camera and go for a Butterfly Extravaganza so I could share it here! 😁🦋
Today, after my son and I completed his daily School-at-Home tasks -- which went much better than it did yesterday, thankfully! -- we took a stroll outside and discovered the mass of butterflies awaiting us.
This one, and my header, are my favourite photos of the bunch.
I took about 300 photos of these fluttery things but there were only ten or so I considered decent enough to edit and share, then I further narrowed them down to a select few. 😀
There's a little tiny butterfly in this one, as well as the two big ones.
This little guy is missing a small chunk of his wings. 😯
And this guy has mastered the art of camouflage! 😁
As well as butterflies, there were bees!
Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to get a good photo of those little guys yet -- maybe one day. 😊🐝 The only clear photo I got was this one with his bum facing me, haha!
It's autumn here at the moment and we've been getting lots of butterfly visitors lately. I don't recall ever seeing as many as I've been seeing right now so it's always a welcome sight. 🦋
Thank you for stopping by! 🦋😊
Enchanting pictures and very beautiful species. With three hundred pictures you must have had a lot of fun taking photos.
Thank you! I'm not sure what species they are, but we have a lot of them here...
*After writing that I just had a quick investigation, and apparently they are the Caper White Butterfly 😃
Unfortunately my camera's lens viewer isn't calibrated correctly so I have to guess a little and hope that I get it right. As a result I end up taking the same photo in quick succession, adjusting the focus for each shot. It very quickly adds up!
But it's okay. I enjoy the experience of being out there taking photos. 😊
Well done, and welcome to "Fascinating Insects"! :)
Thank you for introducing me to the community! :D
