Animal photography || butterfly and ladybug
Dear my friends, taking a walk into the forest is a fun activity for anyone to do, because this activity can bring me, you and everyone to a world of new knowledge and insight, in the forest there are still many hidden gems that need to be revealed and we will also get the experience of interacting directly with nature, tell me, do you like exploring the forest around you?
As you already know, so far I have spent more time exploring the forest than traveling to urban areas, I always believe that with this activity I have been exposed to various small species in the forest such as insects, butterflies and also wild flowers, and for that reason I fell in love with this activity, every time I have free time or a holiday, I only think about taking a walk into the forest, so this time I will share two species that have I found them in the forest with their own and different stories.
in the middle of a quiet forest I witnessed a heart-shaking moment, I found a very beautiful butterfly trapped in a spider's web, several times I saw the butterfly move its body as hard as possible to get free from the trap, but what The power of a spider's web is very strong even though the threads are very fine, but a beautiful butterfly has to surrender and surrender its life to the decision of the universe. The butterfly is getting weaker but still trying to struggle to free itself from the spider's deadly trap.

when I saw from a few steps away, the butterfly was getting weaker and looked helpless, maybe this butterfly had been trapped in a trap for a long time before I got there, and when I approached, I felt a mixture of admiration for the beauty of nature and also sadness because seeing this beautiful little creature struggling to free itself in order to continue its life, the spider web that covers most of the butterfly's wings looks fragile but is very effective in killing prey, butterflies which are larger than spiders but helpless and just waiting for death.
and finally I decided to check whether I could help the beautiful butterfly by not destroying the spider web that had been so painstakingly woven by the little creature, very carefully I freed the butterfly, I started on the part the butterfly's legs, then the head and finally the wings, even though I have tried to be very gentle but some parts of the spider are damaged, and now I have freed the beautiful butterfly to return to its natural habitat.
after some reflection, mixed feelings of awe and sadness, then I continued my journey to explore several parts of the forest, and now I was lucky to find a very beautiful little creature, what is that? let's look at my other findings in the forest, this creature is very beautiful, even though its size is very small, the color and shape of its body are very impressive.
after doing good deeds, feeling like I was a hero for butterflies, the next trip I found "Cheilomenes sexmaculata" (name taken from inaturalist.org) or also known as ladybird, and this was actually an unexpected surprise for me, Cheilomenes sexmaculata or let's just call it a six-spotted ladybug, a black head and red body with six distinctive spots, this ladybug is on a leaf of grass, every now and then this ladybug moves and it looks like she's waiting for a partner,, hheee
I approached slowly so that the ladybug wouldn't feel threatened and fly away, I couldn't help feeling amazed by the beauty of all parts of the ladybug's body, she is a very charming little creature, I captured several pictures to share with you all, and of course I hope you like the beautiful ladybug I found in the woods today.

ohhh poor butterfly! And it was beautiful. But it is the circle of life! And that is beautiful. I will give this advice to you and to some other people. I don't know what you guys are creating the thumbnails and if you are all friends, but some people in here are all creating the same type of thumbnails. I would say for you to find your own style and do something that makes you stand out!
thank you very much for the education you provided, I edited the main photo using the grid art application, while I edited the other photos using Adobe Lightroom, but still for the next post I will show a new style 🙏
Just saying this so you can find a style of your own. Because if you go to the community you will see that the last 3 or 4 posts, look like they could all be from the same person. You all should try and find your own personal style that will make people recognise your posts as soon as they see the thumbnail.
thank you very much, you are a teacher who will create quality creators here, I am very lucky to be able to meet and communicate with great people like you, my life is truly lucky 🙏
Oh no! I am not all of that. Just trying to help when I think I can!
but I see you like that, you have a soft heart, I am very happy to know you 🥰
