Isolation calendar.

Those are fantastic shots.I actually don't really linger to take in much detail of flying insects.
The pictures I posted, well, let's say I shot and ran...there was no composing the shot...I just aimed and clicked.
I think they may also have been taken using my LUMIX Fz72.....giving me a bit more distance.
 
I tend to be very close to my subject for bug hunting with the front of the lens usually about 10cm away (or 4 inches in old money) or less. If can be a challenge getting so close as they have flippin good eyesight having two sets of eyes, compound and simple eyes (ocelli).
 
Day 33: Not a great day for bug hunting, a little too cold, so I probably would have gone watching the birdies....

Ryewolf, congratulations on what you are doing - keeping yourself occupied in such a great way, sharing with us some super pictures and supplying very interesting facts as well. You really are very knowledgeable. I take my hat off to you, well I would if I wore one.
 
Thanks Dotti, almost everyday when I go out with my camera I find something new to photograph and I always take my camera with me, so 365/6 days of the year I'm always finding something new... plus you can usually find the answer to almost anything these days via the internet. So I can't take the credit for everything.

I hate a mystery and need to know what things are that I see....
 
Day 34: More Bug Hunting and finally managed to bag an Orange Tip Butterfly, this one is the male.

No Monkey hanger I was thinking perhaps of something a little more.....intimate perhaps.

I think perhaps we should draw a veil over this bit of conversation :D
 
Day 35: The first day that I haven't been out for a walk somewhere, mind you the weather wasn't so great, still I have my not so little cat Cali, who sorta makes a bit of an unwilling subject. She doesn't really like be told where to sit....

agree she dont look best pleased.:)
 
I really don't know what to put behind my door today......a big question mark would do it.
I know it has been rainy, but I am mega fed up of this lockdown and the news that it is going on for another month fills me with a sense of frustration....I was going to say despair, but that is not quite right.
I wish I could hibernate and wake up when it is gone.
A bit like Christmas but without the fairy lights!
