Hello dear friends, good afternoon
Exploring the outdoors is a hobby that I am currently pursuing. Fun activities, always make me happy. There are many things you can learn in nature, but I'm more interested in insects. Having fun with them makes me addicted. I want to always be with them. Being in their world, the burdens of life disappear instantly, there is only pleasure.
Being in the world of insects is not only fun for me, but they also teach me about patience, focus and optimism. Like what this tiny butterfly gave me. She is willing to be my model, but she is super small and likes to move from place to place. She is very beautiful and I really want her. Whatever I do to successfully photograph it, the key, as I said before, is patience, focus and optimism.
This butterfly is very stingy, it doesn't want to show its upper wings to me. The color is very beautiful, metallic blue, I saw it when it flew. When it stops somewhere, its wings are closed tightly. Only the antenna is being played, the movements are very agile, like a drummer playing rock music.
But don't worry, the lower wings are no less beautiful, gray in color, complete with black dots and dotted brown lines that blend together. This pattern gives an elegant impression and managed to appear perfectly on my camera screen. Very happy when I managed to photograph it.
This butterfly is called Tiny Grass Blue, but in Latin this butterfly is known as Zizula hylax. One of the tiny butterflies from the Lycaenidae family. This butterfly is also known as one of the butterflies whose flight distance is short, low and has a slow speed. This butterfly cannot fly if the weather is windy, considering its very small body.
