THE WINNER OF THE DAY IS: @sallybeth23

This is my entry for the 7 Days Steemit Macro-Photography Challenge by @flamingirl. This is a damselfly. Distinct from a dragonfly in a couple of ways. Firstly the position of the eyes. A dragonfly has eyes that almost meet each other whereas a damselfly has obvious distance between the eyes. Also a damselfly folds its wings parallel to its body when it lands rather than a dragonfly whose wings are always perpendicular to its body when at rest.

This was taken with my Canon Powershot SX60 HS
No editing or colour correction was done on this photo. It’s just as nature made it.

Thanks @flamingirl for your wonderful macro photo challenge!

This afternoon as I searched for post content on the edge of the rice paddies, I found a pair of black ants standing on a waterway used to irrigate the water into the paddy field.

Photo taken at 17:45 pm in Ujoeng Reuba village, North Aceh. This ant has a large size compared to other black ants, or ants that we usually find among fruits and other places. The ant I found also has a very strong bite. The skin will be hurt if exposed to its bite.

With the help of macro lens, I managed to take two good looking pictures. Hopefully you like the photography I share here.

In this post I put a beautiful beetle, this beetle has a colorful color, so it looks very beautiful. this beetle is very easy we can. this beetle I found inside the flower garden.
There are three colors of the mixture contained in this beetle, the basic colors of green, black spots, and there is a little yellow color, so it is very solid (fit) and looks very beautiful.

Keep looking at my post, I share it very sincerely. In this post I show a very beautiful green locust. I photographed it using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 phone and added a macro lens to make the locust clear. Hopefully amused with my photography.

I found this green locust when he perched on top of the weeds that I found growing wild behind the house.

"You never seen me, like this before"

Quick story

If you like macro photography, then you will love snowflakes. Why you ask, did you know, that every snowflake is different shape? This one is my favorite. If you have the opportunity, take the time and shoot some macro snowflake. The photos are breathtaking.

Hi friend steemit all ...
I want to share a little experience about the discovery of animals that have a very unique and interesting color levels in each body with two different colors. The name of the animal is peeppeep. Which lives among the leaves of the wood.

I saw this orb web spider just over 1cm in size and iluminated by the golden brilliant sunshine in my garden which caught my eye as it was glowing away like a corn kernel and i just had to get my camera out! The shot was quite tricky and in an awkward place with plants and branches in the way and i had to improvise and put the tripod to its highest and ontop of a chair and get myself right in there on some ladders even the slightest of breezes swayed the web, i thought this was best shot and just about picks up its little face which looks kind of similar to a sloth or teddy bear and the rich golden color given off by the sunlight passing through it gives it an amber translucent look in places which also highlights that spikey armoury! Not a sight a fly would like! Hope you enjoy! Peace! :D

Black Thorny Caterpillar
This black jet caterpillar is the forerunner of a beautifully colored butterfly, the sharp thorns all over his body will soon turn into the feel of the painting on the butterfly wings.
When in note, in the size and physical condition of this caterpillar, maybe in the not too distant future he will soon turn into a cocoon, for the next will transform into a butterfly.

Congratulations @sallybeth23 and Thank you to all participants!!!

See you soon for the DAY 5 of the 7 DAYS MACRO-PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE!
