This morning the sun was shining brightly, the perfect time to explore the wild and admire the beautiful insects flitting about. When the sun is bright, all the insects are already actively working. But it's not the best time to photograph them, as most of them are busy flying around, rarely perching quietly in one place. Especially those still sleeping. It's very difficult to find them. Despite the difficulty, I continued exploring to find them.
My main target was a bush with flowers, a favorite spot for butterflies. Sure enough, upon my arrival, I was greeted by a variety of butterflies. They were all busy flitting from one flower to the next. It was very difficult to find any that were truly still for a moment. The weather was hot, and I almost gave up. Even though it was only 8 a.m., the temperature felt hot.
I continued exploring, enjoying the butterflies flitting about. Finally, I found a brownish-yellow butterfly hanging on a light purple flower. Its wings were fully spread, displaying a beautiful pattern. The brownish-yellow combined beautifully with black and white dots. Its long beak was busy examining every detail of the flower. Its long, thin legs held tightly to the small flowers.
The butterfly didn't stay on the flower for long. Just a moment. I snapped the photo at a very fast speed. Luckily, my phone camera worked well. Exploring in the hot sun is enjoyable, as you can enjoy the variety of insects. However, it's difficult to capture them without a camera that can take long-distance photos.
