Hi Paul, What a coincidence we both posted a shield bug almost at the same time. You are right about the colours, they are beautiful little critters. Thanks again for your input on my bug.

Very beautiful colors on the bug and the straws in the middle looks good. Maybe you could try different croppings to bring out the bug a little. Nice shot.

Hoi Paul,

Nice colours indeed. I can't remember seeing this bug before. You wrote me "nice to see there is still a lot left to explore in our country", so I'll guess you're right.
Good composition, I like it very much.

I really love this shot...it's vivid and soft at the same time, makes a wonderful desktop!
