Hi Bien. It is nice to see your posts in this forum. Your macro shots are amazing. Any butterflies? Wow, you can capture the life history of a butterfly (metamorphosis) from an egg to a larvae to a pupa to a butterfly. Try it!
Your grass blade photo is a revelation. No wonder. lyd

Hi Tina, thanks! Its an awesome lens but takes some getting used to. No tripod on these shots! but I was lying flat on the ground and both elbow on the ground so camera was well supported. Hi Lydia, I still have to work on my butterfly shots, only a few shot in the wild. I'm afraid my schedule wont let me take a full life cycle, but probably I can do it in stages. |

You can. If you are able to procure egg and a few leaves of the host plant, you can nurture a caterpillar indoor and everyday, from the comforts of your room, you can document the progress of the larvae, molting (called an instar in every change) and even witness and be awed by the miracle of transformation from larvae to pupa + of course the wonderful breakout of the adult. The only challenge will be to find a female butterfly laying egg. It is actually the easiest way to catch a butterfly.
