## Good afternoon to all my beloved hive friends ❤️ ---- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbjZ5nFa5rjL2dwsX3g9c982BYAeKm55QtAApXVQCjtRE/1768039004260.jpg) ---- In this post, I will share an experience and moment of my success in finding a rare butterfly in a palm oil plantation. I also managed to photograph this butterfly using a cellphone camera and also using a macro lens.Photographing flying insects is a difficult activity but it will give satisfying results if we succeed in doing it, and that is what I felt when I succeeded in doing it. Apart from butterflies, I also managed to photograph a moth and a leafhopper. I took each picture from a different angle so that it showed the perfect shape, size and detail. #### ----------Right side---------- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNWTAYF4pgST854Z4kHKbxBT6XyfAmySRisu1cTkRiAa4/1768039040106.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcgE9V8YmteMBo4sUVhVJYU2aJM1Yc1jxBM4ZniQgdxLa/1768039040146.jpg) This is a butterfly that is very rare in my area, I haven't found it for a long time even in the forest, in my area this butterfly is called the tiger butterfly because the color and pattern of this butterfly really resembles the body pattern of a tiger. #### ----------Left side---------- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQF5PqjHUyLNAntD1msXhrSqYcPcq5oezUW3qbUpfmuUn/1768039040195.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYiDvMqsFpSpobk4oBJt2AKn8y9BvbdFzGTXPXcPhQbUG/1768039040238.jpg) Actually, I had no plans to look for this butterfly. I found this butterfly accidentally in a palm oil plantation. At that time, I had just come home from harvesting palm oil with my friend. #### ----------Back side---------- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmViDfFwDN7kuCLX8JpXoawsURfjTR6nfyx7DcyeGaBX6K/1768039040284.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmanDaL4knWg7JY3S79rvRqeq5aPr5LLHm3FipD6dc3jAF/1768039040330.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPigCHjyP8Sxp612zJDX1eYpwxSoe7qBaVdEsZQAxXwf3/1768039238935.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTZANzVk3iuuiVRyZ55VGkYaXSmKGMx5Wzx7ZW6prAwyP/1768039238985.jpg) At first I was hesitant to photograph this butterfly using a macro lens, because every movement would make the butterfly fly and I had to repeat several attempts to be able to take even a few pictures.When I wanted to photograph this butterfly from the back, I managed to get a very rare moment, namely I managed to photograph this butterfly when it was opening its wings wide, I also didn't need to wait for this moment because this butterfly gave me the opportunity to photograph it directly #### ----------Macro lens---------- This is where the real challenge begins, using a macro lens I had to photograph the butterfly from a very close distance and I experienced several failures, flying and flying, the butterfly did not give me the slightest chance. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmY4A8TJCR7gZgt5WLuo4t1VnQmcDomCFRpUVZcBvSbUqB/1768039239024.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVGAgbUab43DaTbMF5AVUwvTcHPYGRf3JeCCaq5J9Asoi/1768039417730.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZyyLfKjnKXKuzbcvw7oTkEiS3Sd7FiYfazqa6N4Asi3z/1768039417771.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeSZVRp6hqkrr66qVZH7gkXagoir6iTEo8bQASvj7Y3LD/1768039417807.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVKTuYTBf4dGHF8LJTwbzdNo2DoBPUyXkZGfxgaeUQt7Y/1768039417842.jpg) I tried to photograph this butterfly wherever it landed, the first time I succeeded when it landed on a wildflower, but I only managed to take a few pictures and after that the butterfly flew to a wild plant. The point is I had to photograph this butterfly with hard work and patience. #### ------Planthopper------- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNuibDmNAzK6kEasdZdXPMPEBMyDdQmgVwQqfo3Bjedn2/1768039467913.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUJYr7DmssLsTAnhZHfpTrakDFjw9L6Du9BLue1FxpJ8T/1768039467951.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWNhoo4mqrSHk8GTYg6tJcs3Xyu6jQgwACkHWcarvMmh8/1768039467995.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVvwDuKWYmYcy9YfL6ce7NMpceowNp6bNoUqZDn7keRCQ/1768039468032.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQG3VVpF7QWLSNnYSEMnBEeGaefdPbCS6dVjVLn7vqX2X/1768039468071.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbiA8PyVnQorF3pc8RogVXa1Bs41TY9SykrMBQk3yH1NY/1768039468116.jpg) I managed to find this leafhopper when it was perched on a wild flower, I myself don't know what type of leafhopper this is, but we can see that this leafhopper has a very beautiful color, namely orange. However, photographing this leafhopper is not as difficult as photographing the previous butterfly, this leafhopper does keep moving but it doesn't fly at all. It took a few minutes to get some of these pictures, by using the help of a macro lens I managed to get some pictures that looked so beautiful and detailed and that's what I hoped for. #### ----------Moth---------- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWcnJtaoCTSRkpp3dyZEjgQCMjRcnoBpHWDNSkaL6Hme9/1768039510140.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaJPWmt6nZFxZ1gK7hcRHX6pz3EZ3B8wFdJkFEfUA27w5/1768039641572.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSmMv8gPkzaBw7aN4H3oAnvifJ9L32bBgij1HgZaDtLx9/1768039641610.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUHttEULiSvPiAeAaNLUfPoKN5hMhwy6iz3cbqPypBqUQ/1768039641658.jpg) At first glance, its shape does look very similar to a butterfly, but don't be mistaken because this is a golden moth. This moth has a very unique characteristic, namely having relatively longer legs than other moths, its color is also very beautiful, namely orange packaging. This moth is very active and very wild so it is very difficult to photograph it, but with hard work and patience I still managed to photograph it. -----
