Ladybug on my finger
Busy bee
Fly or wasp?
Spider web but no spider
A few insect-related shots from my archive. From a photography perspective, they have mistakes, but I like those frames. Insects are a great subject to photograph, and I often see myself capturing them on camera.
> How do you call those insects in your mother tongue?
I put the captions in English, but in Portuguese - my mother tongue - they are called:
- joaninha
- Abelha
- Not sure whether it is a mosca (fly) or a vespa (wasp)
- Teia de aranha (spider = aranha and web = spider)
- Esperança, which literally translates as "hope" - in Brazil they say katydids bring luck, especially if it lands on your body!
