Ant, butterfly, and imported fly

avatar

This Sunday post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by @c0ff33a, #beautifulsunday initiated by @ace108, and my #sundayrandom, where I share my random macro shots.

Today is Sunday, 17th August 2025, and today is the day when my country's founding father read our independence declaration, and become the nation on our own. But now 80 years later, are we moving on to be a better nation, and a better country to live in, well what can I say, I think we should have done better.

I don't want to talk more about that, but I want to focus on some of the random photos that I have today, that I took sometimes ago during my macro photo hunts.

The first one today I have this ant that was walking around a tree, and I could only took one photo of this guy walking on the bottom of the leaf curve.

Next is this beautiful butterfly beautiful one, but unfortunately I could not get the photo from the other angle.

At least I was lucky to be able to take these photos, because usually they are very hard to approched. While they seems to be so fragile but beautiful, and seems to be easy to photograph, but they are actully really hard to get close to. So this one was defintely a lucky shot.

Then the last species that I have today is this tiny fly, with colorful wings pattern. This fly is most likely to be Urophora_jaceana So yeah, one of the imported species from Europe, and they ends up thriving here in Bali. :)

I only know the TININEST bit of Bahasa Bali. But when I lived in Bali for a while I think I probably knew about 500 words of Bahasa Indonesia. I like being able to speak other languages but it's hard in Australia because we are so far away from other countries!

That fly ancestor must have came from some long sailing ship.
