A. To spot the right insects you want to shoot is better to study the insects breeding group. Just do a normal lookout walk along and look closing to flowers and plants near you. If you spoted a insects, remember to be tact full before carry out the shoot/capture.

Flying insects you need to be extra careful, they feel of fear near by they will fly away; getting them back is hard to be spoted again.

I wish you all good luck in finding rare insects and share your find.
