Recently, due to the convenience of photographing insects using a smartphone. If you practice a little, you can get good results. You do not always have a camera on hand when you encounter an interesting insect. Here are some examples of recently made.

large copper (Lycaena dispar)

Approaching autumn and butterflies wanes. Some species just about this time of the easiest to find. Wandering along the edge of the woods looking for mushrooms, but also watched the insects. I saw a few, but they flew and waited some time to take a photo. Several attempts are unsuccessful as usual, until one of them calmly gave up approaches. Rather it was a good place, too much was in the background of grass and other plants. The light was sufficient for photos. Here is my large copper (Lycaena dispar) - female.

Queen of Spain fritillary (Issoria lathonia)

Similar to the butterfly butterfly in the previous post. The color and pattern, but after careful examination are different. It can check with macro both species. In nature, rather it is impossible to simultaneously watching them. Butterflies are almost constantly on the move and to compare this does not make sense. We have a fairly significant amount of butterflies in determining which no doubt. This species requires a thorough look at the best both sides of the wings, but this is not always possible. Here's my butterfly 2 photos. More I could not do, because flew high up among the trees.

Pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne)

This butterfly pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne) is fairly common and very similar to many butterflies found in our landscape. Close look can see many differences between butterflies-looking away almost as bes hurry and using various auxiliary sources. . Macro allows you to observe even minimal species differences. When we look at the atlas butterflies, it turns out that the classification is often difficult for an amateur and it's easy to make a mistake. I'm interested in a more aesthetic side of photos, and it depends on a variety of factors, such as light, background and colors. Often butterfly does not allow us to achieve a satisfactory approach. Well, you have to wait for the next opportunity.

Moths, which will meet during the day

Moths are associated with us at night. Many of them are active during the day. True, avoid the sun and try to hide from him under the leaves or deep in the grass. Some are very small, but they are of a size smaller butterflies. They come in a variety of environments. Last photographing butterflies encountered them and took some pictures. Here they are:
burnet companion moth (Euclidia glyphica)
Shaded Broad-bar (Scotopteryx chenopodiata)
Lewes wave (Scopula immorata)

... Or maybe go for mushrooms

Recently we have fairly frequent rain and slightly cooler. The appropriate time for mushrooms in the woods. For several years we have had dry summers and autumns and mushrooms in the forest was not. When it is humid in the forest smells of resin, flowers and mushrooms .... Even when there is not too much of them in the woods, it is nice to walk around and observe the surroundings. Can be something interesting to photograph eg. A butterfly, beetle or other insect, and of course mushrooms. This time the trip was a lot of mushrooms and a lot of fun and some pictures.

tiny and beautiful

Next butterfly to me is very nice. It is scarce copper (Lycaena virgaureae). The bright red color results in that, despite the small size is visible from a distance. Fly like the wandering flame on a green background. If you try to wait patiently always squat somewhere and be photographed. For several years, I meet this genre and always doing him a picture. I usually males of the species. This one met in the forest before noon.

it was yesterday

It was yesterday or the day before. I published a photo of a new butterfly to my collection, and today the next. Small and slight, but has a beautiful color and pattern on the wings. And of course, allowed to photograph what the butterfly is not so obvious. How many times I watched the magnificent butterfly, which in no way could be photographed. Although I have in this area have some experience, getting good pictures is not easy. Windy weather makes it very difficult job, and even impossible. When it is cloudy, the rain does not meet butterflies. Here's my next butterfly Common copper (Lycaena phlaeas)

new species to my collection

Yesterday, after heavy rains during the week we went to the forest to pick mushrooms. I took a camera. We have found in the woods a lot of young brown ring boletus, several field and birch bolete mushroom. In many places, I met many butterflies. Despite the fact that the equipment was not adequate and there was a lot of time, I managed to take pictures of some of them. To begin with, a new species of butterfly to my collection, this pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria Euphrosyne). In the next post I will present next.

The hornet it's the dagerous insect

   I meet a hornet enough often but to take good shot isn't easy because this species is alive and dangerous especially near its nest. This one tasted juice of the sunflower for short time.

from Wikipedii    The European hornet Vespa crabro, commonly known simply as the "hornet", is the largest European eusocial wasp. The queen measures 25 to 50 mm (1–2 in) long; males and workers are smaller. In males, as in most members of the Aculeata, the antennae have 13 segments, while in females there are only 12; also as in other aculeates, the male abdomen has seven visible segments, while the female has six; females possess an ovipositor modified into a sting which is not barbed. See wasp and bee characteristics to help identify similar insects. This species will sting in response to being stepped on or grabbed. They are also defensive of their hive and rather aggressive around food sources such as lilac bushes. Care should be taken when encountered in these circumstances as they may sting without warning. The pain from the sting may persist for several days with attendant swelling.

such a lot insects on one sunflower

Protaetia aeruginosa	Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta)	Paper wasp
Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris)	* * *	Comma (Polygonia c-album)

In Semptember we don't see so many insects as in the summer but the sunflower juice is very attractive for many insects. These all insects was taken on one sunflower.
