Hello Insects Lovers...
Well, this afternoon was a bit tiring but in the middle of that tiredness, I saw a butterfly which turned out to be an insect. Taking pictures of butterflies is certainly not as easy and as beautiful as what is presented on a computer screen. We need struggle, patience, patience, and thoroughness. Moreover, the insects weren't a manageable model. But this time I can easily take pictures of these insects. At my place, this animal is called "Ngengat". Honestly, this is the first time I have encountered this insect and this is the first time I have taken a picture of it.
I found two insects of this type, but the one I shot the most was one with a slight deformity on its wings, while the other one was perfectly formed. Based on what I've read, this insect is a member of the hawk-moth family, or Sphingidae, which is widespread in several places, including Asia. This insect species generally eats poisonous oleander leaves and they are immune because they have an antidote in their bodies. Meanwhile, we know that oleander is a poisonous plant and you should be aware of it.
When you pay attention to these insects, you will find that they are quite different from butterflies. See how its wings have a collage of colors ranging from light green to olive to dark forest green. This green patchwork resembles an army camouflage uniform. Another feature of this insect is a dark eye spot sitting on each wing where it is attached to the body. The forewings have a slight pink tint on the underside. White, brown, and tan bands and stripes cross the wings. The belly (body) is green with a black and brown belt in the middle.
This insect was taken with a normal camera, but to get detailed macro pictures of this insect, you must choose the right lens. But not this time. The only thing I'm trying to capture is the beauty of the insect's unique color. In my opinion, it's not wrong if you don't use a macro lens and use the basic lens that I have. It's just that I need extra patience to be able to produce clear and detailed photos.
Although this insect is not as active as a butterfly, it is visible in several shots. I sometimes had to squat on the ground, bend over and stand up. As a result of the fact that my lens was very close to the insect, it appeared that it sensed a presence that harmed it, flew several times, then escaped. Despite the fact that it doesn't fly far, I should be able to capture some photos of it.
It is definitely true that the key to shooting this time is to be patient, patient, patient. In fact, I took a few photos earlier, but the results turned out to be out of focus. I'm not very effective at breathing because I don't use a tripod and only use my hands as support so the camera doesn't shake. Like it or not, I usually wait until I get an interesting moment. If it's not acceptable, I'm back waiting to return.
Currently, I view it as an exercise in frustration management since I know I can't guarantee that everything I shoot will be interesting and that the moment has to be really captured and then re-selected. Fortunately, some of my catches this time make me satisfied and feel as if I've received a commensurate reward for my patience and perseverance. I'm not an insect expert and have no idea what they were thinking when I snapped.
Well, I've tried a few angles, but this insect with a wing defect is slightlye easier for me to get than an insect that is not disabled. Until I am able to find alternative angles to be able to get the details. Some of the pictures in this post are almost the same and a bit less interesting so I tried them from a different angle. I did a lot of common angles. Shoot from a high angle, from a contra angle, and from a low angle when the insect is perched on a grass branch.
Also, there is a photo where this insect has fallen to the ground and is unable to fly again due to a defect in its wings. Taking pictures above the moss is not easy because the camera position has to be parallel to the wet ground. But it's much more fun because I think the picture is pretty. Well, hopefully, some of the pictures that I got are useful and don't break the rules and conventions of photography. You know, I'm still a beginner.

It has a very pretty color. Oh yes, it does have a great resemblance to moths. Butterflies must be more difficult to photograph, they are very restless.
Wow that butterfly is so beautiful @elchaleefatoe15
I have never seen it before.
