In this post I will share an experience and moment of my success in finding and capturing the beauty of a rust butterfly whose population is already rare in my area. This small butterfly has very unique characteristics in my opinion both in terms of shape and color. In addition to the rust butterfly I also managed to find several other insects such as a tortoise beetle and a jumping spider that was preying on a tiger moth, of course these are extraordinary discoveries and make me very satisfied with the results.

But first I will focus on telling my experience when I found a rust butterfly and how I tried to photograph it.

"-----Rust butterfly-----"

I managed to find this rust butterfly in my garden, a sunny day and it was the right time to look for interesting objects to photograph. Flying insects have always been a special attraction for me such as butterflies, moths or bees, but finding them is not an easy thing let alone photographing them. When I was under a banana tree that was quite large, I accidentally shook a dry banana leaf which made this rust butterfly come out of its nest, this butterfly continued to fly but I kept watching it until finally this butterfly landed on a wildflower that was not too far from me.

At first I tried to photograph this butterfly without using a macro lens and I succeeded in doing it, but the image I got was less detailed and the bokeh was not very good, so I decided to try photographing this butterfly using a macro lens, I know this is difficult because I have to bring the lens close to the object at a very close distance, but I kept trying until finally I succeeded in photographing this butterfly from various different sides.

By using a macro lens, I managed to get a picture with very satisfying results. Look at the shape and color of this butterfly. Doesn't it look very impressive.?
The color of this butterfly looks very similar to the color of rust on iron, namely brownish orange, but if we look at it in more detail, we will be able to see white spots on the front wings of this butterfly. I feel very happy and satisfied because I have succeeded in finding this butterfly and I have also succeeded in photographing it.

"-----Tortoise beetle-----"

And I found another tortoise beetle, this tortoise beetle has a relatively larger size with a very beautiful color, namely orange with additional black spots all over its body. This beetle often spends its time on leaves, and I also often find it there, photographing this beetle is quite easy because it is not too wild.

"-----Jumping spider-----"

And the last one,I managed to find a jumping spider, but there is something different about this discovery, look at the pictures below.

I managed to find this spider on the leaves, but look what it managed to catch, this spider managed to pounce on a tiger moth, and that was a very impressive discovery for me.
As the name suggests, this spider looks for food by pouncing on its prey and that is a very different way from web spiders. It is quite pitiful to see a moth being pounced on, but this is how nature works so we cannot blame one party, they are both looking for food.
