Here the rains are becoming less frequent, indicating the dry season is about to begin. But the ambient humidity is still quite high and the days oscillate between sunny hours and other times with clouds. So, this combination of climatic factors is very good for going to the paddocks surrounding the village and making insect macros, whose populations remain high thanks to the recent rains. Also the wild flowers are still abundant and charming to photograph...
In the first two photos you see a very clear demonstration of why I love to take this kind of photos. I was calibrating the parameters of my camera taking some pictures of that "boring" ant on the wire of a fence and WHAM! Coming of nowhere this funny dragonfly appeared and landed there, making the ants fall into the void... :)
Rare plants, beautiful and ugly insects, even a huge spider... Everything during midday today seemed to conspire for me to take macro pictures! ;)
If you know where to look, you can find a lot of interesting and beautiful things to take pictures of this kind. So what I usually do is to walk along the path very slowly, looking at the plants and other surfaces in detail until I find those details. At the same time I mentally think about the camera settings to match the subtle variations in brightness that have to do with the coming and going of clouds and the presence or absence of tall vegetation.
Nature is fascinating and from time to time I can commit "small indiscretions" :) like taking these photos of a couple of butterflies copulating... Certainly these are things that happen on a level that we sometimes overlook. But life is always there, going on and on...
Orthoptera are not my favourite bugs, but I have to agree that some of these look quite elegant and are worthy of a photograph like this one. :)
Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!

Increíbles todas las fotos que nos compartes siempre 🤗, ésta está entre mis favoritas:
Saludos, @jlinaresp 🤗.
Muchas gracias amiga @vezo por tu visita... Humm, es una flor extraña, creo que es primera vez que la veo aquí, Quizás se trate de una especie poco común o nueva por estos lares dado los cambios del patrón climático. Lo cierto es que es algo muy interesante de ver. Estoy presto a encontrar más de esas plantas y con más flores, quiero saber si mantienen patrones similares o varían... Un saludos y reiteradas gracias para ti... ;)

Oooh! That spider is amazing 😺 great shots @jlinaresp friend 👍
:) It is a female of the genus Trichonephila, I think it may be Trichonephila clavipes but I am not sure... The truth is that they are the so-called "golden silk spiders" and the books and web pages say that their silk is perhaps stronger than steel carried to the same diameter, something amazing considering that it is something made entirely by the organism of this fantastic arachnid. It should be noted that its bite, although slightly poisonous, is not usually serious for humans. But due to their large size (it exceeded 12 centimeters in diameter including the legs) they can induce fear in people...
Thanks for visit and appreciate dear @gatubela friend!

😺🤘🤗
😬🥴 wow! I have only see one kind of big spider here in my city, sometimes in my apartment and sometimes in the areas of my building, they are intimidating but if you don't bother them they're not going to hurt you, even if you try to scare them they prefer to run away.
Waaaa so many incredible and fascinating shots!! I always love macro photography but it’s not easy when you don’t have the proper gear, patience and skill. I love how you take these photos - especially the brightness of each one - they’re just so amazing!
Thank you very much for your motivating comment, your visit and your appreciation @wittyzell friend!!!
