As I've mentioned previously, I check my plants every morning. It give me joy to see each and every one of them and how they're doing under my care. I have this calamansi tree, a citrus plant native to my country, which is very attractive to caterpillars. However, it's not only the caterpillars that have been munching on the leaves! I found the culprit when I was checking my plants one morning and took a photo as evidence! Guilty as charged, this tiny grasshopper escaped after I took a mugshot of him! Don't you just like it when you find tiny creatures in your garden?

Yes! I like them to spot them in my garden and I also take photograph of them just like you! In fact I have a good collection of pictures of various moths we have at home during the night times!

Nice macro shot there! Did you use your camera phone for this or an actual camera?

@toniganzon nice. Always wanted to get into macro photography. Perhaps in the next month or so.

@allen0187 A real camera or a phone camera? If phone, try checking out Moment macro lens review on YouTube. Professional photographers I met in an app I also earn from were the ones who convinced me to get a Moment lens and get rid of the cheap one I was using.

I hope it will not come back and eat your calamansi again. I have put my calamansi plant inside the house now as it is getting colder every day. It has small fruits now growing.

@Sanggita Yes but only using my phone camera. It's more convenient for me. So I can say it's a phoneography hobby.
