It's been 6 days since I posted Happy eid mubarak 1439 H by @permanayogi, I no longer post in Steemit. Not because lazy, just because there are some busyness only (assuming busy, to be like the others). Hehehe...

The first post is still in the feel of this eid mubarak hopefully useful. Not a pretty good post still, ordinary, still in the scope of Photography.

Some time ago, I took a photo of Macro. I did not realize it would be a story. A small butterfly that becomes a good food for locusts. This grasshopper when in my village is known as "walang wadung (jawa)" if in a children song in Indonesia named "cangcorang". In English the name is Praying Mantis.

When photographing, initially just saw a butterfly is perched on a beautiful yellow flowers dan fascinating. As if it was a happy day for the pretty little Butterfly. A sunny day, making it sound like a heart to sing. Especially as a model of my photos, added happy. Hehe...

Seen butterfly was mingling with beautiful flowers, while sucking on the flower nectar, which is already provided Beautiful flowers to be sucked by a tiny butterfly.

I watched it happily, too, because it's the relationship of two different kinds of living things.

Look, cool situation so cool and nice views. Maybe that's what the tiny butterfly feels. Joyful on a sunny day. Without any suspicion anyone is watching him.

I was not aware, there are stalking the butterfly. That afternoon, I witnessed the occurrence of a food chain.

The tiny butterfly did not realize that there was a locust that was after him, to be his lunch menu. Grasshoppers continue to observe butterflies. Who was so engrossed to enjoy with the sweetness of the flower nectar. As if, the sweet flower nectar flavor, blinded sensitivity senses.

Without much time, the grasshopper immediately ambushed a tiny butterfly, and gripped it immediately. The weak butterfly is helpless, unable to do much, because in addition to flying, butterflies can't defend themselves.

So butterfly grapes the Grasshoppers, after being gripped, the locusts immediately bite him with his sharp teeth. From his body to the butterfly's tiny head. There's nothing left!

The beautiful day became a dark day for the Little Butterfly, but it was a great day for the locust. Because getting the prey is delicious again soft

VERSI INDONESIA :

Sudah 6 hari sejak saya memposting Happy Eid Mubarak 1439 H - Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri by @permanayogi, saya tidak posting tulisan lagi di Steemit. Bukan karena malas, hanya karena ada beberapa kesibukan saja (sok sibuklah, biar kaya yang lainnya). Hehehe..

Postingan pertama yang masih dalam nuansa Hari Raya Idul Fitri ini semoga bermanfaat. Bukan postingan yang cukup bagus sih, biasalah, masih di ruang lingkup Fotografi.

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya memotret Macro. Tidak menyadari sih, bakal mejadi sebuah cerita. Kupu-kupu mungil yang menjadi santapan empuk belalang. Belalang ini kalau ditempat saya namanya "walang wadung" kalau dilagu anak-anak namanya "cengcorang". Dalam bahasa inggris namanya Praying Mantis

Saat memotret, awalnya cuma melihat seekor kupu-kupu sedang hinggap pada sebuah bunga kuning yang cantik nan mempesona. Seakan hari itu adalah hari yang membahagiakan bagi si Kupu-kupu mungil yang cantik. Hari yang cerah, membuat seakan hati berdendang. Apalagi menjadi model foto saya, tambah tuh bahagianya. Hehe...

Terlihat ia bercengkerama dengan bunga yang cantik, sambil menghisap nektar bunga, yang memang sudah disediakan Bunga cantik untuk dihisap oleh kupu-kupu mungil.

Saya menyaksikannya pun ikut bahagia, soalnya ini hubungan dua jenis makhluk hidup yang berbeda.

Lihatlah, sejuk situasi yang begitu adem dan enak dilihat. Mungkin itulah yang dirasakan oleh kupu-kupu mungil. Riang Gembira dihari yang cerah. Tanpa ada rasa curiga ada yang sedang mengintainya.

Sayapun tidak menyadari, ada yang mengintai kupu-kupu tersebut. Di siang itu, saya menyaksikan terjadinya rantai makanan.

Kupu-kupu mungil tak menyadari bahwa ada seekor belalang yang sedang mengincarnya, untuk dijadikan menu makan siangnya. Belalang terus mengamati kupu-kupu yang begitu menikmati dengan manisnya nektar bunga. Seakan, rasa manis nektar bunga, membutakan kepekaan inderanya.

Tanpa banyak waktu, belalang tersebut pun langsung menyergap kupu-kupu mungil, dan langsung mencengkeram dengan kuat. Kupu-kupu yang lemah tak berdaya, tak mampu berbuat banyak, karena selain terbang, kupu-kupu tidak bisa membela diri.

Jadi ia santapan Belalang, setelah dicengkeram, belalangpun langsung menggigitnya dengan gigi-giginya yang tajam. Dari tubuhnya hingga kepala kupu-kupu mungil. Tak ada sisa!

Hari yang indahpun menjadi hari yang gelap bagi si Kupu-kupu mungil, namun menjadi hari yang memuaskan bagi si belalang. Karena mendapatkan mangsa yang enak lagi empuk.
