hello sumon,

congratulations on posting the 250th image here at TN, it has been a delightful experience watching your technically perfect captures. You have presented the macro shots specially the butterflies with almost perfection and have shown our beautiful nature to the world.

regarding the shot its a fine one to be the 200th and has all the qualities of a good capture, nice observations regarding the size and the colors, i loved the oof green bg and the well saturated colors of the insect, well composed shot,

looking forward to another 250 delights from the macro king of Orissa.
tfs & regards

We do like it! Very well done especially under the conditions. Sharp and well-lighted with a pleasing compo.
I'd say the female is on the left hand-side. Female insects are often larger than the male, Moreover, in the case of parasitoids like the meloidae, the size varies a lot depending on how much food the larva had at its disposal.

Excellent picture of these mating beetle. Great POV and great sharpness. Excellent light and colours. I like very much the pose of the beetle on the left-hand side with the head against the branch.

Hi Sumon,
This couple seems to have some hard time to get on that stem.
It's kind of funny the pose on the left bug, with the head dawn.
I like the good light, sharpness and fine details got on them.
Excellent work, thanks for share it and congratulations for the first 250 pictures here.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Sumon,
Congratulations on your 250th, which you mark with a superb capture of a pair of mating Blister Beetles in a fine diagonal composition and taken with excellent sharpness from a POV that allows us to see all the features.
As most insect females are larger in order to bear the eggs I assume that the larger of these two is the female.
TFS this excellent image,
Regards,
Ivan

A combination of the two...although they are well coloured for some reason to me they are not as "fantastic" in colour...I wonder at times if and why the Creator made certain things in a special way. Perhaps it is intent on its level of survival in the nature world? Very good sharp image Sumon!
