A new thing for me today observing this butterfly . . Visiting butterfly park at Makasar (South Sulawesi) today and have a wonderful chance seeing a butterfly putting her egg on leaf . .

As you may see, the abdomen (lowest part of her body) is producing one egg and immediately glued to the leaf . . and becomes hard very soon . .

I can't get detail and sharpness of this picture, due to high movement of the butterfly during this process . . Some noise due to high ISO . .

The question is: Who comes first? . . The adult butterfly, or The egg, or the Caterpillar, or the Pupa? . . The same question: The egg or chicken . .

I decided to include the two caterpillars on the workshop . .

Thank you for viewing it . .

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Hi Tjutjut,
The few colors in this photo make for a very beautiful photo. Especially the red and yellow tones on the wings seem to pop out of the photo. I do feel that either a much smaller aperture was needed or the focus should have been on the head and body. A combination of both would be even better. Now only a small spot of the wing is sharp while the rest become too soft. I do like the composition and exposure, and I love the OOF BG.

halo mas tjutjut...

wih... sekarang kupu2 ya, kebeneran aku juga abis photo2 kupu2 nih, tapi belum sempat di upload,
ini cantik kupu2nya, dan bagus DOFnya, tapi kenapa aga gelap ya ? apa karena warna kupu2nya emang gelap ?
tapi kalau diliat... aku suka banget highlight yang ada di daun tempat kupu2 hinggap.

regards
Haldian

Pagi mas tjutjut, motret serangga emang nggak mudah, saya juga pernah dulu motret kupu2, nungguin sejam hasilnya cuman satu yang bagus, by the way fotonya ini agak gelap, apa bukaan diaphragmanya udah mentok di 5.6 ? mungkin kalau dibuka habis bisa lebih byk sinar yg masuk. Aku buatin workshop dgn levels adjustment dan sedikit gaussian untuk warna hijaunya biar tampil lebih terang. Salam, ari

A wonderful catch here Tjutjut! Very nice details even in low light! Nice position he is in! Almost looks like he will fall off! Very nice shot!

It's an excellent presentation of the caterpillars into the workshop too! But mostly the posture and the tones of colors who came into that butterfly! A pure pleasure!
