In this post I will share some pictures of Dragonflies, Butterflies and Moths that I managed to capture a few days ago when I was hunting for beautiful pictures in a coconut plantation owned by a local resident. In the coconut plantation itself there are many insects flying around because in the coconut plantation there are several puddles of water and it is right on the edge of a small river, so there are many insects playing in the garden.
From the beginning, I already knew that photographing insects was not an easy thing, it takes patience and skill to be able to do it because insects are free and very wild creatures, but it has become a habit and happiness for me so I am not too burdened when doing it.
It was also a matter of luck where I just hoped that the butterfly wouldn't fly away when I started to approach it, because let alone taking a picture, just getting close to it was very difficult, but when I managed to get close to it I immediately took the opportunity to take some pictures.
What was fortunate for me was that this butterfly was very tame, and the butterfly allowed me to take a photo session with it, and the butterfly managed to show off several poses for me. And this is what the butterfly looked like when I took a photo of it from below.
And this is how it looks if I take a picture from above.
This butterfly is so beautiful and perfect, it has different colors on the outside and inside of its wings, and on this occasion I managed to photograph it from various angles, a success that made me feel very satisfied and happy.
And after I finished the butterfly photo session, I immediately walked to look for some other beautiful insects in the coconut grove, until finally I saw a blue dragonfly perched on one of the tree branches and I started to approach it.
Since I managed to get close to this blue dragonfly, I started doing something a little challenging, which was photographing it from a very close distance.
To do this photo shoot session, I was willing to lie face down on the ground in order to get satisfactory results, and because the distance was very close, I had to do it very carefully and slowly to reduce the risk of the dragonfly flying away. My hands did feel sore when I did it because I had to hold my phone so it wouldn't shake, but the tiredness was immediately paid off with some of the results I got when I had successfully done the photo shoot session.
The blue dragonfly is a very beautiful dragonfly and has quite large eyes so I really like photographing this dragonfly from a very close distance.
And this is what the moth looked like when I photographed it from above.
Previously I have also met this insect and I also had time to photograph it, but on this occasion I managed to find it again, what makes this photo so beautiful is because this moth is on a wild flower and is drinking flower nectar. Actually this moth has flown away but fortunately this moth came back to me, so I immediately took the opportunity to photograph it.
With some of the results that I have obtained, I feel very satisfied and happy. All the tiredness has been paid off with the results that I have obtained, This is true happiness.
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post. I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of you.
