Life in the insect world

In the morning I went out into the yard to water the flowers because my wife says it's part of my job while she prepares breakfast. The weather was calm, there was no wind and everything seemed quiet. I carried a bucket of water in my hand and went around each plant in turn. The first thing I noticed was that the garden was full of life.A bumblebee is playing on a thorn near the fence. I took out my phone and immediately set out to take a picture of this beauty. 526375426_1069018235347193_5461708289670032596_n.png When I approached the roses, I noticed several bees visiting the flowers. They didn't pay attention to me, they were doing their job. A red beetle was standing on a nearby leaf. She moved slowly towards the top of the stem. I bent down to see her better and continued on. A butterfly landed on the star flowers, spread its wings and remained calm. I watched him for a few minutes, and then he flew to the next flower. 527529073_1123959949843479_1347055504166914638_n.png 541216639_1098457165763269_8295211863124724903_n.png 526615136_1035756118639180_3732646246975877996_n.png 526294411_3608338622632198_4077817591490606686_n.png As I was walking around the garden, I saw two butterflies circling, as if chasing each other. They landed on the same flowers several times, then flew away again. Nearby, wasps were doing the same thing, moving from one twig to another. There was movement all the time. I sat down on the bench to rest and drink coffee and eat a cake that my wife brought. I watched the insects land and leave. At that moment, a large butterfly landed right on my hand. His wings were spread and I felt a slight movement. I didn't touch him, I just looked at him. It stayed for a short time, then flew to the flower in front of me.Soon a wasp appeared. It began circling the same flower that the butterfly had landed on. I was surprised when the wasp then moved towards me. Instinctively I raised my hand and chased it away. I didn't hit it, I just pushed it away with a gesture. It circled around me for a few seconds, then went to the other side of the yard. I felt a slight unease, as I realized how quickly the situation could change. 527533081_1115242970469749_8453593928378442028_n.png 527256807_1124517642934498_6445604402895400354_n.png 527340403_779700341289877_4945220968943981395_n.png 527188584_661080232957001_7773707649700534122_n.png One caterpillar from which this beauty is born 541043831_654812131003624_3082214061429270237_n.png 526136186_1421916022368459_7507211571441972020_n.png When I got up to finish watering, I noticed a row of ants on the path. Everyone was carrying something small in their mouth and they were all moving in the same direction. I followed them with my eyes until they disappeared into a crack in the wall. They looked incredibly beautiful on my pink Bozuru 526355758_1251855569753592_8105986545116830992_n.png
