Red Helen, Papilio helenus........(Please correct me if I am wrong)

First time in my life that I have ever managed to capture a butterfly in flight.

It must of been a funny sight to see me darting around chasing that butterfly with the viewfinder glued to my eye.

Red Helen looks right.

Me I gotta wait till they stop, good one.

Get some strange looks when people see me pointing a camera up a tree, at a bush or at something on the ground, tingtong farang, join the club.

Some odd bug

I have anew Nikon P600 I'm getting use to. still not an expert but learning. Here's a few of mine. The mantis was taken over several days. In one shot she laid an egg sack. The Tokay is regular visitor to my porch.

Couple more. all the birds were shot with zoom 600-1500mm I'm guessing.

This image I purposely left a little blurred to conceal the identity of the procreators , heavens knows what could come of this photo if those partaking

were to be identified , but the aliases are Roblow and Parishilton ,

Must get that doctors number on speed dial

That looks like insect necrophilia.

The poor thing's drowning/drowned.

While I really enjoy the photographs, sometimes the image titles are the ones which make the day

I think this is actually a "Common Rose" Pachliopta aristolochiae goniopeltis

It has too many white bars to be a Red Helen, I would have thought.

Whatever: it is a great shot - and I know how hard these are to get. Way better than anything I have done to date.

I'm sure nowadays Goomps. Used to think they were toads however have been informed

by many people they're padi field frogs and I have eaten a bunch of em since then. Don't

reckon one can eat a toad & survive...not sure about that but that's the rumour I've heard.

^^^Bill...Nice shot. At our place we have the small iguana's which live in bushes & coconut

trees. Light tan & light brown in colour with a bit of yellow on their "spikes". Been trying

for ages t get one to be co-operative in a photo session but they simply scoot away

whenever I or our dogs approach.

Nature photography is not really me thing, though when an animal presents itself, why not.

^^^ Nice shot Mr. H!

[Assurancetourix]

As sunshine wrote; nice shot Mr David

And I have a naive question about this line : " Nature "

What is the meaning of " Nature " here in Photography and the Arts ?

I thought it is about countryside ..

But I can see very, very beautiful butterfly or slug or...squirrell , but nearly nothing about shots like this one I shot a few weeks ago from Wat Santi_Kiri above Mae_Salong - Chiang_Rai province

Great shot and wherever you think it fits is fine by me.
