The tiny butterflies we see every day in the garden are no less beautiful than their large cousins. This Metallic Cerulean although tiny, is ver pretty.
THe Common Jungle Glory Thaumantis diores was resting on a wild vine in a vacant plot.
This is another little beauty whom I had to chase to get it pose for me.
What pretty butterflies. I love the blue one. Isn't it funny chasing after butterflies with a camera waiting for one to stop long enough for a picture? :)
ReplyDeleteJust amazing to see your blue butterfly. They are very difficult to get close to take a photo.
ReplyDeleteI can see you are a great observer Lotusleef, how wonderful those buterflies are!!

That jungle glory is stunning! You seem to have many species of butterflies in your area. On my island home here we have about five large and about five tiny ones.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, it is really funny chasing butterflies. The passerbys stand and stare at me!
ReplyDeleteIan, I had to run into thorny bushes just to get those pictures!
Maria Cecilia, thanks for your encouraging words.
Islandgal, we do have plenty of butterflies here. Some of them migrate too. Many have migrated here for the season.
Ooh ooh butterflies !

Would love to have blue ones around here but don't think that gonna happen.
Lucky you!! I've never managed to shoot the Jungle Glory! They fly past me and never deign to stop:( That blue is spectacular!! I love to photograph these tiny blue butterflies too. Quite a few varieties come here. Some only have a hint of blue. The one in the last shot is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Need a lot of patience to pull this off.
ReplyDeletePatsi, Kanak, I love the blue ones too.They are my favourites .
ReplyDeleteUG, Yes, it takes a lot of patience. I got inspired by Kanak's beautiful pictures.
Such beauty all around you, Lotusleaf. The little blue Jungle Beauty is the model for my tattoo, on my left shoulder. :-)
