and butterflies

Continuous rains and strong winds are not conducive to macro photography of nature, especially butterflies. The warmth, silence and sunshine are conducive to butterflies. Today's afternoon is more or less like this. I have not met many species on the meadow. Difficult place for shooting in tall grass. There are places more interesting but not near. Here are some pictures of my trip. All the species I've photographed before, but something else is different.

the spider and the butterflies

    Photographing butterflies among low shrubs and grasses noticed a butterfly [Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus)] captured by the spider. I took a picture of this dramatic scene. After a few minutes I returned to this place and I noticed that another butterfly [Heath Fritillary (Melitaea athalia)] was caught. I made the photo and on I went to the meadow. Then i came back again. another butterfly (another Heath Fritillary) was trapped, and also and it was photographed.Successful hunts have this tiny little spider.
     Here are some pictures of the event.
