I finally found one that could stare at the lens. As a matter of fact it was the epitome of entomological coolth. I think I have nothing more to say. You can figure out the rest from its rainbow shades and tiger striped wings.
Capturing close-ups of insects is always difficult. But I’ve had three lucky encounters in the last month itself, and they got gradually better.
This is not a single picture. I was desperate to shoot something like this on that very night, the night of Eid-ul-fitr. (For the uninitiated, it is a very important Islamic festival that is marked by the sighting of the crescent moon with the star).
