I just took this macro photo in my backyard where there are plenty of plants. This butterfly is a boxwood moth, I just don't know if there are any boxwoods in the other gardens nearby. I enjoyed taking a macro photo of this butterfly, it fortunately stayed still when I took this picture. The plant on which this butterfly came blooms in summer and usually dies again in winter, I just don't know what this plant is called. However, you can see that the plant blooms red in summer, the flowers forming a kind of screens so that a red area is created. In this macro photo, the focus is on the eye and partly on the body of the boxwood moth, the rest is out of focus. You can also see the blades on the head of this butterfly, even though the wings are out of focus you can see the markings on the wings. I did take this photo out of hand and not from a tripod, furthermore I chose to keep it in colour.
