Advice from a photography class instructor many years ago. These were all (even the butterflies) found amongst the foliage, on the bottom side of leaves, on stems, etc., except one.

Shot with a Panasonic G9, the 40-150 f2.8 lens, 1.4X TC, and a Godox TT350 flash. Everything set to manual. Show in raw and processed with DXO Photolab 4 and output as jpgs with 3450 pixels on the long side.

Enjoy!

Luv the variety and colors! Agree with Linda about the Skipper on the blossom with the caterpillar of unknown future.
Thanx for sharing.

Absolutely wonderful set. It took me a while to realize that was a cat in No. 2. IMO that shot is Best in Set
