Quenching the macro thirst!

Hadn't shot macro the whole month, managed a productive session with some interesting finds. Some images from exploring the Bangalore University area

A hairy Pentatomid


Adapted to both dry and green patches!


A cute looking Carrhotus female


Carrhotus male(?)


Shield bug, with the blue sky providing some contrast


9/10 times one would've walked right past this perfectly aligned caterpillar


Mating chafer beetles


An Ichneumonidae wasp with a stunning, long ovipositor


A handsome looking Tachinid fly


Stunning coloration on this nymph


Deaths head hawk moth, those wings surely hold many galaxies within!




Omega!



Got lucky with this find, they hadn't even darkened yet




Just as we were trudging back (was a rather humid day!), we found this fascinating scene - the Robberfly which is an apex predator of the aerial world falling prey to the super-agile Hyllus (Jumping spider) female..that meal will definitely help her with making her silken nest/egg sac


All shot on the Olympus OMD EM10 M2, 60mm macro and Godox TT 350O with DIY diffuser.

Thanks to Pavan, Naveen, Pradeep, Sushvin for the company. Amit was kind enough to share this diverse location and help us explore :)

Cheers!
