Hello Ram,
Another beauty in the serie. Very good composition choice to show us the left flower without insect. What a surprise two insects in one flower.
The quality of this photo is excellent in all aspects.

Peter

This Milkweed seems to be a real gem! Excellent macro showing a beautiful Bug and a little Moth competing for the food. Very clear details and beautiful colours. A very nice composition too.

this time in the perch, milkweed, I see them opening a bit more and the duo colours of the flora. It certainly gives a flair to the picture Ram. A very nice overall...and yet I remain partial for some reason to the perch...The insect almost looks as if it is trying to hog a good scene:-)

Hi Ram,

A wonderful addition to your series. I love seeing the Crown Flowers side by side with and without insects. What a nice surprise you had finding a different insect in this one. Details of the bugs and of the flowers are excellent. Beautiful colors and a pleasing composition.

Hello Ram,

It occurs sometimes that when we look at our picture hours after having taken them, we see, with great pleasure, some details not seen on site... Here the presence of the second insect is very interesting on this milkweed!

The red bug looks like Spilostethus pandurus.... Maybe they share the same Genum...

Great pic and TFS!

This is a beautiful capture Ram,full of colour.
Its interesting that you didn't notice the little moth at first.I think your camera did ... the focus seems to have locked onto it and it has come out as the sharpest object inb the photo.
No idea of the ID I'm afraid,but I love the photo.
You were right to leave the second flower in the frame. It looks good like this.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Mr. Ram,
A nice capture of this milkweed flower along with the milkweed bug and a tiny moth. Very good details and a nice composition. Here in Eastern Orissa we generally don't depend upon monsoon. We basically face low pressure rain here. And now we are having it in plenty but the same humidity problem is here. Very less opportunities to take photographs. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sincerely
HP
