Macro Photography - Butterflies, moths & dragonflies

Yesterday I again succeeded in capturing several photos of insects in several different locations. The two butterfly photos above are of the skipper butterfly species. Butterfly in the Hesperiidae family with the binomial name Pelopidas mathias, or this butterfly is also known as the "Dark small-branded swift".

In Sumatra, Indonesia it is not difficult to find this butterfly in the forest or also in bushes that are overgrown with flowering wild plants. Because in essence butterflies really like flowers, where there are flowers there will come butterflies.

Then the two beautiful little moth photos above are moths in the Noctuidae family. I photographed this moth with the name Amyna punctum while it was standing on wild leaves. Moths generally during the day really like to hide behind the leaves, occasionally he comes out standing on the leaves while sunbathing.

Then below are some photos of the genus damselflies dragonflies. In Indonesia this dragonfly is often referred to as the needle dragonfly because of its small size. The dragonfly that I share is the Telebasis dragonfly from the Coenagrionidae family. Telebasis dragonflies generally have a red color and usually live in locations not far from standing water. This is because dragonflies generally cannot live without water, especially clean water that is not contaminated with chemicals.
