Monomad: The Beautiful Flying Robber

Almost every Sunday, my friend Kamaruzzaman and I go hunting for photos on the edge of the forest. The journey is always tiring, but many yield good results. Unlike previous weeks, I was fortunate enough to capture five or six insects with satisfying shots.

However, not all trips are smooth sailing and yield optimal results. For example, today, I was a bit discouraged because the shots I found were meager, or rather disappointing. Fortunately, before I left, I found a Robber Fly. A smile spread across my lips when I saw the beautiful Robber Fly. Besides being beautiful, the Robber Fly was also very friendly and non-aggressive. That's what I'm grateful for today.

With a few shots of the Robber Fly, I finally managed to capture it well. Among the few shots I took, I managed to capture one of the closest angles, using a 12mm lens. With that lens, I clearly captured its blue eyes at a very close distance. The fine hairs on its face were clearly visible.
