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.

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.

Taking photos of these bugs is so easy because they are quiet, but they are also tiny enough to challenge the focusing. I like do do researches after taking photos of some insects what I exactly captured. This “Western conifer seed bug” is native to the warm western USA but recently it expanded also in some parts of Europe. In the winter time the bugs try to survive inside the houses so they are not really very welcomed though they don’t do any damages, except their aroma when are disturbed. It is worst for the plants outside, because they feed on the sap of developing conifer cones throughout its life, , and its sap-sucking causes the developing seeds to wither and misdevelop (source: Wikipedia).

On my short walk I was able to capture this bat relaxing on the sun.

This green fly decided to provoke me until I didn’t take a shot, two. It was flying in front of my nose and I almost could hear: “Press finally that button! I won’t dance here the whole day!”
