Cute Hover Fly by Kristanto Anggoro on 500px

Syrphus ribesii is a very common hoverfly found along hedgerows, in garden and woods. Adults feed on the nectar of flowers, while the larvae are predators of aphids. This hoverfly has multiple broods and adults are seen throughout spring and summer, while the larvae survive the winter as pupae. It creates a hum when resting by vibrating its wings.

Syrphus ribesii has roounded, black body with pattern of yellow spots and brands. This is just one of large group of very similar hoverflies which can be found in a variety of habitats. Many hoverflies are very difficult to identify, requiring microscope to look at tiny character including the shape of the veins in the wings. But macro lens nowadays are capable to do that.

Angry Spidey

Angry Spidey by Kristanto Anggoro on 500px

This spider's face reminded me angry bird game on android. Black shape above his eyes like angry eyebrows. Just like the characters in the game angry bird. As well as huge teeth like rabbits makes it even more funny. But this is also the type of spider that hard to find. I've photographed a lot of spiders but this is the first time I found a spider like this.

I hope you all enjoy my photo... :)

Demoisele Again by Kristanto Anggoro on Viewbug

When I photographed this damselfly, my biggest mistake is the use of flash. Which makes the wings of the damselfly is not transparent. It very difficult to photograph damselfly using ext tube and 50mm. Which makes it difficult is the distance between the lens very close to the object. While the damselfly it self very aggressive and unfavorable locations makes it more difficult.

But I will not give up. I'll try it again one day and I'm sure I'll be able to make a good photograph damselfly. And in the meantime I hope you all enjoy my photos of this damselfly... :D

Wet Caterpillar

I found this cute caterpillar in the backyard. It's length not greater than 1 centimeter. Immediately I took my spray and spray water to all over of the caterpillar's body. Finally I took photo of this wet caterpillar. Wait... this is not done yet.

After I photographed the caterpillar. I process the photo in Lightroom to increase sharpness and clarity. And fix the colour balance of course. The picture above is the final result after processing.

I hope you all enjoy my photo... :)

Just Common Dragonfly

Dragonfly Head by Kristanto Anggoro on Viewbug

This is just a very ordinary dragonfly easily found everywhere. Especially during the afternoon before the evening. Or in the morning when the sun is not too hot. This dragonfly is a predator who is often hunting for small insects such as mosquitoes, flies and other small insects. In fact, sometimes it hunting insects with the same size or larger than themselves.
