Some more insects and flowers from Lamma Island, Hong Kong.
This is what I do when I want to relax.
I grab my camera and go out onto the hills and shoot insects and flowers.
These pictures are the result of two hours shooting over a 50 m stretch of walk way.
Lamma Island must have the biggest diversity insects in the world. Imagine how many pictures of different insects I could take if I would do this systematically for a couple of weeks.
Even at this session I saw about four times as many insects as I could shoot. Many of them beetles, butterflies and wasps flying too high or too fast for me to catch.
And then there are all the nocturnal insects like many beetles, stick insects, roaches and moths.
