I definitely wont be posting any more for the next few days, at that pond I mentioned in this post
http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/uh-oh-me-again-flowers-this-time-though.549664/
I got my first lot of butterflies - I think they're butterflies, maybe they are moths? But there were LOADS. I must have found a breeding ground.
There were at least a dozen visible sacks within metres of where I stood:
1..
2.. and had loads of these around some flowers and flying about. Lots had landed so I tried getting some different angles/views of the same bug, hope you like
and ID would be most appreciated
3..
4.. Only when I got back to the PC did I actually notice they were mating. They were quite small butterflies/moths, if saw that there were two of them, I would have tried to get the both of them in focus. There was a slight wind too, so I might try and look through the set to see if I accidentally got the other half in focus and try a stack.
5.. Was quite chuffed with this one, getting a frontal shot while it fed, well, it wasn't difficult, loads of these things (Im talking dozens) were everywhere, feeding.
I do have a lot more of these, doing various things, at some point I'll dig out the different one's and post up mid next week.
Thanks for looking and I really mean that, I've expected a complaint about hogging the thread but thankfully you're a friendly bunch and havent had a complaint
