Hello Sabine!
It's really funny about the cat. I couldn't probably see it on my own but thanks to your tip I had no problem to identify where it is. No, you're not halucinating. Gotta go, my kitty wants to play before I leave for work. Congratulations and have a great weekend.

Hi Sabine,
Yes, I looked closer to the bug. Yes, there is a pattern on bug's back, look like cat's face! It is a sharp image. Well done.

Definitivamente estás alucinando... envíame tu dirección postal que te despacharé buenos vinos argentinos para evitar otra vez esto ;-)
Excelente macro con profundidad (si yo tuviera F25 disponible!) y saturados colores, buen resaltados por un correcto uso del flash, aunque existe un leve reflejo, imposible de evitar imagino.
Agradable POV y recorte con un trasfondo muy bien logrado.
Mis mejores saludos... Ricardo

Definitively you are hallucinating... send me your address postcard that I will dispatch you good Argentinean wines to avoid another time this ;-)
Excellent macro with depth (if I had F25 available!) and saturated colors, good stood out by a correct use of the flash, although a light reflection exists, impossible to avoid I imagine.
Pleasant POV and crop with a background very well achieved.
My best regards... Ricardo

Great close-up work, and your subject provides some wonderful colours!
I like the framing and the lines in the background, that works well to enhance the bug...
Lovely indeed!

The Gestalt element in the picture notwithstanding (and I'm still trying to figure out the cat face), it is a huge yet beautiful macro of this very ornate bug, Sabine. Only nature can be that perfect in designing its creatures.
Faultless and perfect image from you as usual. The positioning of the subject is well thought of and apt.
Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent shot Sabine!
Unique markings that sure do look "cat-like"..
Hope you don't mind, but I played around with the color, to make the cat easier to see, and give it that "Christmas Tree Ornament" look ;))
Very well done.

Hallo Sabine,
sowohl die große Wanze als auch die kleine Katze sind gut sichtbar, vor allem auch die Schnurrhaare. Tatsächlich zeigst du uns das letzte Larvenstadium von
-- Nezara viridula
-- family: Pentatomidae
Die einzelnen Entwicklungsstadien dieser Art sehen sehr unterschiedlich aus und unterscheiden sich natürlich von den zusätzlich noch variabel gezeichneten 'Erwachsenen'. Danke für dieses farbenfrohe Bild und schöne Grüße,
Peter

Hi Sabine,
The title and cat ears -that can be easily distinguished- gave me the hint to see the face of the cat. Excellent macro of this lovely bug, so well decorated. Lovely colors and maximum details.
Best regards.

Well spotted - it does have a cat on his back (this is like the pictures of jesus that people see on their toasted sandwiches).

The photo itself is excellent. Great macro shot with sharp details and lovely vibrant colours

Hi Sabine, a wonderful capture of a stink bug "nymphal stage". Pentatomids are very colourful insects like this my friend. Your macro is superb showing this feature.
TFS and have a great SUnday MF!
Cheers,
