This Sunday post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by @c0ff33a, #beautifulsunday initiated by @ace108, and my #sundayrandom, where I share my random macro shots. Hey guys, happy Sunday, I wish you all enjoy your beautiful, subline and lovely Sunday today. Please a llow me to accompany your day with these macro insect that I have today. Teh first one is this scarab beetle that I found hangin on the flower stalks of a wild shurb. Well I guess you have understand how could i could it here. yeah, this kind of beetle usually will eat on the flower, or young leaves of a plant. And since I found it on the flower, so it was maybe starting its day by feasting on those flowers. Before I came, take a few photos, twisted the stalk to get better angle, and then caused it to fall doan because I did it too much. ahah ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbqK7fhhZq1oiKo3DQZjFkdGoyGjVb8wadGSNhL9C3s7D/pa030121.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYZBtjNEHbrrZLMJDAaWRRMzSGV37261syJwVidiEGaeZ/pa030122.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNsFUF7dMYzN8M3fhgm11ZNtUZtWeGmpUrZLHGBVk9SiX/pa030124.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) Now guess how many species are in this photo behind that branch? One, two, or three? ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYZfQ58cJiFaxTWyP6Wdmh9rZ8TkQdczsdNHn1oJURyLQ/pa030160.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) Well it turns out that these are two mating flies. It was a little bit hard to be able to phtoorgaph them, as the moved away from my camera whenever I tried to get photos of them. they will always try to hide behind that small stalk. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXWpQAjPqVzKjv29aNP1875tzLDafzz5xe2ioT1vTKZ3y/pa030161.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) This is the last photo of them that i managed to photograph, because they flew away after this. as you can see, the way its legs are position you can see that it is on the take off pose. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUZVErh8CAbbjJXAptGsvafP3t5pjEvSVUEgoq2mVQjqW/pa030162.jpg) ![separator2.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZMa7EifqXSjKGqGjSzs4d9eNGjhV129o5S1XYGh2hUVQ/separator2.png) | | | | | | | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | | Photo Style | Macro Photography | | Accesory | 50 mm Canon lens + Adapter + Extension Tube | Location | Bali, Indonesia | |Lighting | External flash | | Gear | olympus Omd EM5 Mark ii | |Diffuser | Cekrek Diffuser |
