Rama-rama


Play with MACRO photography again this evening, and now butterflies are my target.

This are what I got from around my house...., not from butterfly park/farm.
Searching the internet (from Singapore Butterflies Check List web site), I got the species name of this lovely blue butterfly - Junonia orithya wallacei This blue is the male.

The creature below looks more like moth than the butterfly..

Those rama-rama rested on the wild flowers (bunga rumput), like this photo below.

The butterfly song by Ella


Rama-rama - Ella

---------------------
Seumpama rama-rama
Terbang bebas di udara tanpa ada halangan
Aman damai suka-suka
Riang ria tanpa ada rasa duka sengketa

Rama-rama

*
Ekspresi dirimu menawan hatiku
Ingin aku terbang bersamamu
Melihat kerenah melihat telatah
Manusia yang sering terlaga

**
Ekspidisi ini bagai tiada henti
Kan menjadi antologi diri
Terhentilah mimpi terhapuslah sepi
Sanubari yang lebih berani

***
Terminal yang pasti satu fitrah hati
Kerna yang sejati tiada kekal lagi
Terbanglah ke sini mencari abadi
Terbanglah ke mari mencari hakiki

Seumpama rama-rama
Melewati panorama yang penuh warna warni
Taman bunga taman damai
Dengan aksi lincah berputik hidup yang harungi

Rama-rama

(ulang *, ** & *** 2x)



This is definitely not butterfly, but an insects doing thing!... :-)

Do you notice the small ant at the top of this photo?
This fly try to catch it!, oh.. No, fly don't eat ant!
