Botanical Gardens Macro 6 Sept 2010


It was a late afternoon and it was an overcast sky.

I did not expect any rain but within an hour of reaching there, the thunder forced me to stop to look for shelter.


Luckily, there were some good catch and though the impending rain stopped me short, I ended my trip with a satisfactory bounty.

This winged insect spent so much time grooming a single leg...


Photobucket
I was able to take multiple shots and it had not finished grooming


Photobucket
Still going at it, sniffing and cleaning.
It must have stepped on poo....

This beetle was golden in colour when viewed with naked eyes.
The flash did its colours injustice.

This cluster of ants makes one wonder... "Where's the sugar?"


Photobucket
You can see the hair of the dragonfly!
