    Wow, that is stunning! My son made me take a photo of one of these in the spring, but I only had my phone with me, so it was nowhere near as good as this.

    Beautiful close up... I have a bit of a soft spot for sheild bugs, they are like little robots aren't they? :)

      Thank you Emma, I 'm so glad you said it was a Shield Bug, I had no idea what it was, I saw it and decided to practice with my Macro lens and was very pleased with the results, the leg joints are fascinating..

      Thanks Sarah I love the red leaves too, the only bit of colour in the flower boxes at this time of the year...

      Thank you, I think I should put a warning on some of my posts, not everyone like bugs as much as me, hope you didn't get too much of a fright...

      Thank you for such a lovely compliment Fiona.

      I always have my HTC phone which has a great camera, and 90% of the time I also have a small Nikon in my bag, as I hate to miss a photo opportunity.

      Then I have a big Fuji camera that I go out and about with once a week.

      This picture was taken on the big Fuji when I was having a practice with the Macro lens, some people (Himself) say I have far too much time on my hands lol

      Hope you didn't get too much of a fright when you saw it, I really should put some sort of a warning on my insect pictures, I forget not everyone is a fan of them.

      I'm glad it was ok to send you the email, I wasn't too sure if it was appropriate to do so.

      Thank you, I can't remember the name of the plant but it begins with a B and is very spiky and stays that gorgeous colour all year round...

    these little bugs are rather cool - I think the bright green ones in spring just pop out with attitude! Great picture - and what's wrong with getting out there and finding a few beautiful things with your big camera?!

      It is in the UK, I'd never seen one before but apparently it's a Shield Bug.

      I'm seeing all sorts of things like this when out and about with my camera, just wish I knew more about our local wildlife.
