Ditch Jewel (male) - III, Bundula, Sri Lanka Our jeep was stuck in the sand and after helping pushing it out, I had to catch my breath for several minutes. Being on foot in Bundula for a few minutes, I used the opportunity to capture some insects. Mind you, this is taken with a 400mm, not my macro lens.
