Hi Louis,
I don't like bugs - but when I see this one, they become a little bit sympatic to me.
What a beautiful colour, and the red motive on the back - together with the bright light,
very good with excellent DOF, thanks

Hi J Louis, the highlights are a bit OE but otherwise it is fantastic. What an unusual species, never seen it before. TFS :)

Very nice capture Louis. Very natural colours, very sharp on the main subject and very good composition. I agree with Hollie about the highlights but I also know it is very difficult to get these little critters right in hard sun.

I do not know the species but I can tell you that it is a nymph and that it will transform to an adult bug soon - probably the next time it changes its skin. You can tell that it is a nymph because it has not grown wings yet. They are developing in this time of its cycle - you can see them under the green part like shoulders.

The markings on this bug are amazing. What beautiful colors and patterns. Sharp details and great exposure on this difficult subject. I just cannot get over the artwork on the back of that insect. Wow. Well done, Jean Louis, and TFS. : )

Nice capture.

Arm still a bit sore so I am keeping the comments short.
