I can imagine you hunting around for little critters to photograph, Sandi! That's half the battle; finding them. The other half...you've mastered, as evidenced with this Garden Pest. Fantastico!
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Oh love this shot and we use to call them June Bugs when I lived in the good old south. Gorgeous colours and outstanding detail. Thanks for the memories of seeing this
Crystal clear macro...I have thought I might see your face in the reflection of its shell! lol To be honest, my eye keeps drifting to that bit of red on the right, but this is one terrific shot!
Nicely composed and super detail on this 'pest' Sandi. It looks like it might be about to enjoy a meal of leaf ! I don't think I have ever seen one of these.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Maybe its just a wayward tourist trying to find its way home. A good close up on the beetle, Sandi. Wonderful details, colours and textures in the photo.
