Here are some macro shots I'll submit for the current #monomad challenge. These images were taken moments after the drizzle had stopped this morning, when raindrops were still clinging to the leaves and grass and a tortoise beetle still lingered on its perch, accompanied by a flesh fly. I had the impression that the fly was conversing with the beetle: "Why are you still here even though the rain has stopped? Let us set out in search of fortune." The beetle responded, "You get to go first. I'd like to stay here for a while longer." The fly then flew away, leaving the beetle with the raindrops.
All of the images here are my own work, taken with a Xiaomi POCO NFC smartphone and an assembled external macro lens.
