Busy feeding

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Angled pierrot feeding on Bushkiller

Initially spotted a beautiful Angled pierrot and few other insects feeding off the fresh nectar of the freshly bloomed flowers of bushkiller, but by the time I approached to frame it, could spot another beautiful Pierrot flew in to wade off the earlier pierrot and after a brief fight. Eventually though, both settled down onto the same bunch of flowers, probably as other flowers had already transformed into fruit. These could be seen enjoying the nectar and eventually flew off, probably leaving it for the future.

Nice you got both in the frame. Wish you had a bit more space (maybe moving back as you were using 100mm) on the top to include the wing tips in full. Maybe a vertical composition would have also worked here. Good details. Lovely capture. Thanks for sharing.

I think there was some movement of the wings when you clicked. Is this a cropped image? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
