[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Im quite surprised to see there are hemiptera living in the straits rhododenron plants. I saw the baby and later I saw the big guy hanging onto the leaves.

Straits Rhododendron is a beautiful and common plants in the padifields. They grow wild . It flowers a lot.
The beautiful flowers last only one day, opening after sunrise, closing the same day, with the petals falling off on the a few days later. The flower has two different kinds of stamens.

The seeds are tasteless and can be eaten, but stains the tongue black. In fact, the word melastoma is Greek for "black mouth

Hemiptera.
Hemiptera is an order of insects, comprising around 80,000[3] species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others. They range in size from 1 mm to around 15 cm, and share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts

Hello Foozi !
I love the silvery color of this bug, it makes the most beautiful contrast with the purple flower (which is also a real beauty, by the way). You captured excellent details and beautiful textures, specially on the petals of the flower who look so 'real' I could almost touch them. The pose of the insect, with head down, is fantastic. Composition and POV are excellent. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hello Foozi,
This is really a powerful picture, with an interesting composition and striking colors. An original subject too. Bravo for this special picture.
Kind regards
Anne

Hi Foozi

The subject is well framed. The mcro view view is showing with precision the details and colors of the Nymph of Hemiptera on the flower. The intensity of the light has a hgood effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Salam Foozi.

A double bonus in this nature capture. You have perfected the shallow selective focusing in this this shot complemented by very good rendering of colors with your D80 sensor. I think D80 is the best camera since the digital age and that's the reason I'm keeping it for life :-)

Top shot my man and keep blasting the TN till it explodes.

Regards.
Jusni

Bonjour Foozi,
Très belle macro très finement détaillée et délicatement colorée.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
