Insects that Resemble Leaves

A red leaf-like insect perched on a tree branch in the peat forest of Biluy Peukan, Aceh Besar. When i photograph this small animal unfortunately think this animal is a leaf that is caught in twigs of trees. But after taking a closer picture, this animal flies and moves to another branch. I tried to chase after him, but this insect disappeared in the dense forest.

This was captured with my Canon PowerShot SX60 HS

Thanks @flamingirl for a great competition!

The joy of macrophotography for me is never quite knowing what you have achieved before you get to the point of looking through your uploaded photos from the camera, and the gasp of delight when you come across a photo that really captured the detail beyond your expectations. Not having a fancy DSLR camera as well means that photos such as the one below are such a gift to come across that it makes me just want to keep on shooting for the ultimate macro. To get all the conditions just right to achieve these photos is also somewhat of a miracle in itself out in the field. How many hundreds of photos are erased to get these few beautiful shots is incredible! Ah the joy of macrophotography!

Dragonflies and Super Eyes
Dragonflies have the advantage of having excellent and perfect vision. Their two large eyes are made up of thousands of six-sided units. dragonfly is able to detect small movements. The ability to see and quickly detect allows the dragonfly to prey on flies and small flying insects.

Day 2 - Beautiful Ladibug

This beautiful animal is gardener best friend. I found this ladibug in my parents garden. It was dropping silently on a wild flower.*

Ladybug is one of a member of bettle family. most of ladybug have oval, dome-shape bodies with six short legs. Depending on the species, they can have spots, stripes, or no markings at all.

This beetle "Stink bug" is a plant pest and is known as the odor-spraying beetle causing plants (especially horticultural crops) to break down and even die. But from the point of view of photography, this foul-smelling beetle looks unique and interesting. Her skin is engraved with an attractive shape, Slippery, shiny and there is an interesting combination of attractive colors that look antique. I took this photo using my phone camera and macro lens. This post is specific to photo contests hosted by @flamingirl

hunt for photography of macro lens
Hello all...
Today's activity is photographing small animals with macro lenses in weeds, and this has been my job in hunting for the best photography in the macro photography lover community. currently photo macro lens photo has become the main attraction for each person when already plunge in the world of macro lens photography.
so here are some of the animals I photographed today and the results are very satisfying for me, because at the time of shooting the air and the weather is very supportive when I was in the shooting and there is no constraint at all everything smoothly. and usually when shooting many obstacles occur. such as strong winds, rain, and cloudy weather. this is very affecting once for shooting when there is such problem.

Monster Of Ant"

MACRO-PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE by @flamingirl"
Thanks to @flamingirl who has organized this challenge, and assess each post carefully.

In this post I will share about black monster ants.
These ants are often we meet around us, and I can capture those moments to enter this contest.
I only get a few pictures because many of the photos are blurry and many are blur so I don't share so as not to damage the object scene that I think is good.

Only first photo is contest entry.
This is a small story about someone you can see inside a sponge. After all, you will agree that a sufficiently large pipe is an excellent means of protection. If necessary, you can always run away and wait out there. Well, then carefully get to the edge and start catching plankton for dinner. That's exactly the way the shrimp came, which I found on almost every dive at Bonaire island.
