Metallic Green
Friday, March 16, 2012 | 3 Comments 
I did not come across any butterflies on my roadside wild flower tour, but I was pleased I had my macro lens with me. I saw what appeared to be a regular fly, but when I looked closely it was a bright green colour. There is nothing particularly beautiful about it. However, its colour(s) and the fact that it was sitting inside a flower, made it a fun subject to shoot. The details of its eye and the pollen stuck on its legs added to my interest. Here is a selection of my macro shots as promised a fortnight ago. To offer you a sense of scale, the flowers here are the size of a 100Fils coin (10p coin in the UK - size not exchange rate).

The fly I can understand getting close too, but the other guy is waaaaay too close for comfort! LOOOL!
I do love Macro Shots!
I love these macro shots! I can make out the littlest details of the flowers.

It was very small in real life :) I'm not that brave - believe me :)
