But they were decently covered..... · 07:40 PM

They did not like my intrusion and kept moving

Here is a different view:

And a couple of facial expression shots, lol

Comments are always welcome

Heinrich, these are very nice!

I almost think you're violating their "special time"....

Seriously, I enjoyed the series...

Cheers,
Marc

As far as I know only dolphins and humans derive pleasure from "special time". So you're only bothering them as much as if you're trying to shoot them normally (or maybe at special time they may feel more vulnerable?)

Nice shots nevertheless =)

Normally they are very flitty and very hard to photograph but today they seemed sort of preocupied and stayed much longer in one place. (I almost said in one position) LOL

Take care

Eww they'll make tiny larvae.

Great shots Heinrich

I tried to capture a moth that was flying around my lounge, very difficult.
I have never seen moths mating but it seems you got the money shot

Oh yes they will, it is not a very benefical butterfly but fortunately we do not have many of them.

These are European Cabbage Butterflies and they seem to be always on the move, very hard to get a picture of. Being a little preocupied seemed to slow them down a bit.

Take care,
