This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes I think I was either lucky to find this little beetle on the tip of a leaf before it flew away, or it was me the one who forced this little guy to flee the scene and leave behind its resting place in the shade of the shadow from the other tree on that scorching heat of the sun.Yes, that day was so hot, and I was already a little bit skeptical that I was gonna be able to find any insect during that photo hunt. But it was the only time I had with me to do the photo hunt, so I was just trying to make the best out of the situation. And this little insect was kind enough to let me took some photos before it went away. Just like I said, either I was on the perfect timing before it flew away, or it was me who caused it to flee. This little insect is most likely the ![separator2.png](

This Sunday post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by @c0ff33a, #beautifulsunday initiated by @ace108, and my #sundayrandom where I share my random macro shotsHere we are again already on Sunday, and time flies too fast for me. I am back to work for today, and only for a day this week. My boss decided to give me another long vacation before the peak season arrived, and I know that from the end of this month, things will be so busy. So it is nice to have a long rest, before back to reality, and doing things to keep the household running. LOL I guess that is a little bit too dramatic.Back to the random macro shots, today I have three different insects and then one flower for you all to enjoy to accompany the slow Sunday for everyone who enjoys their day off.I will start with this big wasp which was busy gathering wood parts, and it make it like a pulp first using its mouth, which you can see in the second photo. I guess this guy is gathering material to build the nest. Besides the hard work that I admire, I also admire the look of this insect. look at the color of its body as well as the tiny hairs that grows on its body.Do you see the wood pulp that it gather below its mouth?![](

Hello my friend and also the Visual Shots Community member and the photography enthusiast, how are you today? I hope that you are all having a great time today, it is Saturday now here in my place, and I want to share two species that I took around my house. I hope that I will have a chance to go out today, because my wife is having her day off, so she will be the one who will babysit my son for awhile during my photo hunt, hopefully. hahahAs I mentioned above, for today I have these insects that I took around my house. I will start with this beautiful butterfly, and I think this is one of the common butterflies around here, which is also one of the tame butterflies. Because the other species are not that tame, and they hardly stay in one place for too long.This butterfly is ![](

This is my entry for #FungiFriday initiated by @ewkawOne of the things that my wife does that annoys me is that she tends to forget the groceries of the food ingredient that she bought but forgot to cook until it is too late. I don't fully blame her, maybe when she bought it she knew what to do with it, but then because of my son and also work, she might forget it. But still I have to always remind her about it. It is sad to see the food got wasted since it was all the money from our work. 😢😢😢even with this one, this beautiful mold has eaten the food ingredient before she has time to cook it, lucky that the mold is very cute, beautiful, and colorful so I have something to photograph and could be an entry for the Fungi Friday post. ( I was planning to skip the post today because I don't have any mushroom photos left) hahah It was actually a half piece of coconut that my wife bought some time ago, and I am not sure how this mold could grow that quickly and already cover the entire coconut. Because I know that my mother use

Hi my fellow shadow hunters everywhere in the world, it is nice to make a comeback after such a long break from making any entry tot he contest. Not sure how, but I feel like I failed to take any shadow photos, even for the entry today, i think I took it in a span of time, not just in one go. ckckckckAnyway, if any of you are not aware of the contest, the shadow contest is one of the oldest, still running contests here on Hive, I think it is even started in our previous chain. IF you wish to learn more about the contest, please kindly read and follow the rules and guidelines in this And for my entry is this lamp box with the overlapping shadow of the railing from the second floor that hits the wall where the light box located. I have something to those who hates insect, it didn't work 100%, but at least it will repel some of them who try to get a taste of your blood. ![separator2.png](

The cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus) is a significant crop pest, described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758.But this time I took it with a different gear, and also at a different location, but I was still fascinated by its appearance. Because this little insect is very beautiful, well, despite the huge problem it caused for the human crops.Yes just like its names suggest, this little insect is a big-time pest for the grain crops that are usually planted by the farmers, and become the main food for most of the people. But as I mentioned I am really attracted by its appearance, with its metallic black body, and bright orange on its head and on its leg, this is an insect that I would not miss to photograph when I have time and chance to photograph it. as you know sometimes it is quite hard to get a macro photo of the insect because of its skittish nature, and will most likely will flee wheneve
