Shieldbug 8

Aren't macro lenses great?

I think what I love about this photo the most is that you've captured the rough texture of this guy's exoskeleton - which to most of us would otherwise appear relatively smooth.

Add to this the fact that this is a pretty dull insect, but the lighting and the colorful background elevates it to another level.

I looked at the other examples you posted and the specimens were a lot more colorful - but I think the composition here is actually better.

The only thing I might add - and this is really just nit picking - is that you might want to add more information in your description if only to provide an educational context for the work.

Even if that just means copying and pasting - - -

Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order and, as such, share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. They are commonly referred to as shield bugs, chust bugs, and stink bugs.

- - - the Wiki blurb. Again that's not really a criticism it's just my first thought when looking at this was "what am I looking at here?" I'm always curious about that kind of thing.

Great job!
