But please do not think of these as complaints, i assure you i am just stating facts. The truth is i appreciate all of these. They make my soul occupied and happy. More so, if on the side i still can photograph some critters and butterflies. Never mind if my meals are late, nor can i sip a cup of coffee. These things satisfy me, unless they don't, according to Neal Donald Walsh.
above butterfly is only half a centimeter in length
a bagmoth inside its house before it becomes an adult, very good camouflage
a spider maybe smaller than a centimeter
a very young praying mantis without the wings yet
can you see the mother praying mantis above, i also saw it just in the picture
Mud urns as nests of a wasp species. Only 1 egg is deposited in one nest together with a mummified larva of another insect that serves as food when the wasp egg emerges from the egg.
We have lots of different types of spider web, in the past i have already blogged them. This one seems different, i guess those knobs in a straight line are the insects caught there whose juices are already sipped by the owner of the web.
Your photographs are always inspirational! The creatures that can camouflage so well are fascinating, aren't they? Sorry your weekends are so busy. I hope you can find some time to take a break and relax a bit.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Beth, i know there are so much subjects to photograph in our area, and yet time is always a constraint. The butterflies now are dwindling and i know i didn't take advantage of the time when a lot of them are around.
DeleteSome wonderful photos of the amazing critters in your world, especially the camouflaged ones are so interesting. I can understand your weekend is too short to keep up with all the things you like to do but your hobbies like the Hoyas and photographing all beautiful things in nature give you the satisfaction to go on with it.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and take a rest if possible.

You are always so kind to me Judy, because you leave long comments. I always love long comments and that keeps me going and happy. Take care yourself as well, let's keep on clicking. hahaha.
DeleteGreat camouflage on the last images. What is that, like a caterpillar?

Yes Maria, it is a moth larva, i said that in the caption. Thanks
DeleteI know what it is like spending the weekends at a different property, working hard to keep it in shape. However, I have been enjoying working at my father's place and I am sure you love looking after your Hoyas! I have always enjoyed seeking out small creatures. It reminds me of my childhood when I spent hours watching the comings and goings of the creatures in a pond. I look forward to having more time to appreciate the wildlife at my fathet's property when we move down there.
ReplyDeleteActually Nick, it is our real/original property, as we all grow in that house. However, i work in the Metro Manila where i just stay in my condominium unit during weekdays. It is convenient where i have all the sunsets because i face west. My time in the province is so very limited, so it is more fun when there are long weekends or during Holidays when i can work more hours. But these times do not coincide with the butterfly season, hahaha!
DeletePraying mantis are one of my favourite insects, I just lov ethem, such interesting creatures :-)
