First I have to say sorry - I wasn't here the last days because we are ronovating our house, new windows, new paint on the walls, new decorations around the new windows - so we had a lot of work and mud - and still have.

But now I'm tired and happy to relax here at TN - and look at your wonderful shots I missed the last days.

I decided to show you this funny "Couple", I hope your children will not ask you what they are doing.
It's a Tansy beetle - Blattkäfer - Chrysolina graminis.

Thanks for looking, have a nice weekend.

Hi Sabina,
Bright colors, pefect reflections and details, excellent dof and of course a really green image with red sparkles coming from this wonderful pose!
Best regards and have a nice we too.

In this post you can find some words for kids :-)

And I thought only humans were wicked in such matters, Sabine :-)!
What an interesting "triology" involving these three lovely bugs! I have a feeling the third one is in the "waiting" mode and has lost patience :-)!
Great image from a great artist with a great sense of humour.

Hi Sabine

Uuu...kinky little fellows! :)))
I didn't know that insects enjoy a "menage a trois" :)))
What a funny and amazing capture!
The light and POV here are my favorite elements. Also very nice and the sharp details and the lovley metallic colors.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Sabine!

Renovation? I know it well, we made one this spring :-) And I know what you feel - chaos and mud :-) I'm glad that you founded time to send this funny photo. Looks like these beetles are real sex-machines :-)

Lovely macro, Sabine!
This is nice and sharp, colourful and a fine presentation of these leaf beatles Chrysomelidae. Amusing to see one female attracting two males: the last one must be bisexual!
Have a nice W/end yourself!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hi Sabine.
Funny captured scene with unusual concentration of green paint. I think at your house you have applied more delicate colours. But this colour palette is very suitable for these insects. Very difficult set of colour tones. And you managed to reproduce it with great skillfulness. Excellent details and lighting, nice composition and exact cropping. My compliments and TFS.

Un trencito maravilloso Sabine para mostrarnos a estos insectos en todo su esplendor.
Difícil captura por los reflejos que siempre presentan estos bichos, con buen foco y agudeza, además de un apropiado DOF y encuadre.
Cheers!.
RAP ;~)

A wonderful little train Sabine to show us to these insects in all their splendor.
Difficult capture for the reflections that always present these bugs, with good focus and sharpness, besides an appropriate DOF and framing.
Cheers!.

Hallo Sabine,
Very intersting moment and very nice timing to capture. If there were 2 bugs we could understand very easy that what are they doing. But here are 3 bugs! What are they doing? :)
Very successfull capture dear friend. Congratulations.

Hi Sabine,
I like the composition and pov. Image is very sharp and I love the metalic colours.
And let's say that they are dancing the lambada or the polonaise (don't know the english/German word)

Hallo Sabine,
bin zwar nur auf´m Sprung da - aber Dein "flotter Dreier" ist es mir wert. ;-)
Diesen Käfer habe ich Ende September/Anfang Oktober sehr häufig an Pfefferminze beobachten können. Es gibt diesen Burschen auch in blau und in orange. (zeige ich später mal - der Winter ist noch lang).
Sehr schönes Makro - sehr gute Schärfe, guter Bildaufbau und natürliche Farben. Danke Dir. Wünsche Dir noch einen schönen 1ten Advent.
Gruß
Heinz

Hi Sabine
Nice shot. Good colours, sharpnes, light, details and POV. Hope you relaxing now after a ronovating your house.
Well done mf.

Well, well an interesting threesome you have found. Great stuff, porn on TN.

Good composition and exposure.

Bonsoir Sabine
Elle est très belle cette prise de vue avec ces beaux spécimens aux couleurs sobres mais parfaitement exposée.C'est défendu de faire cela a trois. Les détails sont superbes et la netteté excellente.

Merci pour l'envoie...JP

Hello Sabine,

Great capture of a funny moment, and I won't even try to interpret!!!

Hola Sabine, una imagen divertida y excelente macro y tonos... saludos

Hallo Sabine,
komme endlich für kurz zum Nachholen von Versäumtem nach langen und dichten Arbeitswochen - und finde dieses prachtvolle und noch dazu amüsante Foto von Blattkäfern auf Sauerampferblättern - funkelnden kleinen Chrysomeliden, die uns auf unseren Almwiesen die Pracht von Insekten aus Amazonien ersetzen.
Gar nicht leicht, diese runden Käfer in ihrer Bauchigkeit scharf ins Bild zu setzen. Doch mit konsequent f/16 und sehr gutem Blitzgerät geht hier die geübte Professionelle ohne Zögern zur Sache - und liefert ein prächtiges Ergebnis.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Sabine,
I missed this one before, but I found this as a very interesting insect's behavior, may be kinky but interesting.
Photographically, this is a superb shot: great sharpness, very fine details, and neat.

Ben Lakitan

Hello Sabine,
What a funny shot! Wow, I didn't know that insects could have this kind of behavior... This lightning, colors, exposure, composition and details is just fantastic as usual. This is a great one!

Good luck and patience with your renovations and have a happy holiday season. Thanks,
Claudine

Wow!! Awesome Sabine.
I must have missed this one, forgive me? :)
I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. I'm speechless..they must not be sure what sex they are? ;-}}
Very well done!!
