Hello amazing Hive Family!
Today I am showing you my best insects pictures. I have never had a macro lens and I have never gone out looking for insects to shoot but a few times it just happened that I had a close encounter with our tiny little friends!
The first photo of the post is an European Mantis I met on a summer day in Mallorca during one of my season working in a hotel as a professional photographer.
It was really beautiful! Look, how cute! And it was always looking at the camera, what a model!
This beautiful butterfly was taking a break from flying right on a client's arm, also in Mallorca at the same hotel where I found the mantis.
When I first saw this little friend I was quite puzzled. It was the first and only time I have seen one and I had no idea what it was! It also happened working as a photographer in Mallorca, but different hotel.
It is a Hummingbird hawk-moth and it really looks like the insect version of a hummingbird!
Here you can see it in action at dinner time!
These last three shots I took when I was at home back in Italy relaxing on the couch we have in the terrace.
Our tiny hairy friend looked really exhausted and needed to recharge its batteries, so I decided to go and fetch him some honey. I think he liked it!
I really hope you enjoyed this post, if you did, smash the like button and visit my blog for more original content!
And don't forget to BEE kind to our little insect friends!!!
