Hello photography lovers..
Today I again want to share some interesting macro photo objects with three different insect species. I found these three insect species in the same location, namely in the area on the edge of the rice fields.

The first insect is a species of flower fly whose characteristics are predominantly black with a combination of a little white. Apart from that, there are small spines located on the legs and back, making the appearance of this fly even more dashing. As for flower flies I mean part of the Cylindromyia flies, a genus of flies from the Tachinidae family.

Then the second insect is a unique species of moth that I found standing on the stem of a wild flower that grows on the edge of a rice field. This moth is quite small, almost the same size as a wildflower stem. Because of its uniqueness, I was finally interested in photographing it. The characteristics of this moth are that it has horns located at the base of its wings, it also has antennae that also resemble horns. Maybe we can call this moth the four-horned moth. As for moths I mean the moth genus Stathmopods.

While the horned moth above is standing on a wildflower stem, the beautiful butterfly below is standing directly on the flower. Scientifically, this beautiful little butterfly is called Jamides celeno. This butterfly from the Lycaenidae family is easy to find in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia & Thailand.
