Excellent shot of the beetle on the flower Christian. I can even see that the beetle is feeling sleepy :)

He's a handsome little devil. I like the color of that bugger! He seems to be enjoying that beautiful foofy too. Another excellent shot, Christian.

The colors on your image are exactly the same as they are in real nature Christian. Really a perfect macro again.
Very well done!

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
