Nature Gets Interesting With My New Phone.

I got a new phone in July. It was a Xiaomi Mi 4i. While exploring my new awesome phone, I noticed the camera had a manual mode. It let me set the focus, shutter speed and ISO settings; at least it looked like it did. It was like having a DSLR but with sliders on the LCD screen rather than dials and parts for setting.
The focus setting on this device was amazing. I could take macro shots so beautifully. It had a 13 megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture.

The first few images I took, were of insects in my garden. I used the macro focus range and it was so amazing that all of a sudden I was roaming around in my locality finding insects to capture with my phone. People found it weird that I was always staring at plants whenever they found me. However none of it went waste as I found the most creepy, beautiful insects, with details that I had never cared to know about.

I found a plant-hopper (Not sure if it is one) at my garden which was just a few millimeters long, with details that I could not observe with my eyes. I found it had an amazing green design on its white body. I found it few days later in another city when I was ‘staring at plants’ at a relative’s place. This time it was a bigger on but same white-green design. And when I observed it after 2 days, the same insect had the green design, become greener than I initially observed. Though not a scientific discovery, I found it amazing to know this fact. I also found a small tiny fly, which seemed to have antelope-like horn structure on its head.

It’s amazing how the smallest details of nature are so fascinating.
