I already introduced to you the White Star Spider and I was really happy to discover this black one. As I mentioned, my husband and his friends from his childhood played with these spiders and the black one was a “soldier”. Next time I will share with all of you a yellow one, which is my favourite one 🙂

Leptotes cassius, commonly known as the Cassius Blue or Tropical Striped Blue. This was the first time I saw it in our yard licking the nectar from the gungo peas flower. I was very glad, I could capture this butterfly enjoying the nectar.

My first orange grasshopper. I can see a lot of grey and some green ones here in our yard, but this one was very interesting and bigger.

Me and my husband got this white orchid for our 1st wedding anniversary, but I didn’t realise that there it was yet a smaller gift as well. 🙂 Thanks Mike and Antoinette.

Red ants are everywhere around us and they are a great object for macro photography. Ants and aphids are in a relationship of mutualism. Ants feed on the sugary honeydew left behind by aphids. In exchange, the ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

It is so funny watching a Bumble-bee collecting the pollen. Since the Bumble-bee is huger than a Honey Bee there are more details to enjoy. They won’t attack you like Honey bees, they don’t really care if there is an audience. I really love how fluffy they are 🙂
