Photographs of Insects, Dragonflies, Butterflies,
Moths and others by Yvonne van der Mey

Like other animals, in Africa there are a lot of different species, shapes, sizes and colours. I like these insects a lot, and whenever I'm in Camp during the day, I try to capture a few photographs. But there is something special about African insects, especially the Butterflies. They are so extremely nervous, and don't sit still for a second, not even during the hottest hours. That is so different to the butterflies, for instance in Asia, where they are much more are ease.
