There isn't much info about this Striped Bug on internet, so everybody, let's sign an old Depeche Mode song as a bonus :-)

Stripped

Come with me
Into the trees
Well lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Lets get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
Youre breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everythings ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone let me hear you crying
Just for me

Hi Greg

I know the song from Depeche but i also know the cover from Rammstein and i really like that one, too :))

A very good macro especially taking into consideration the conditions you took it in. After what you've described, i would have thought twice about going so high on the f-stop...but i would have been wrong; you did great and the result is great!
The colors of the bug stand out well and i think you couldn't have asked for a better and complementing BG than the one you've got here.
Great job with the vertical composition and the PP, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: you know me, i'm not a member that seeks points or anything, but i would like to draw your attention to my last post. I would really like your opinion on the ID because it might be useful for a survey i will be making, so just a short comment would be more than enough :) Thanks in advance my friend!

Oh Red Greg, I want one of these please. I love the colours, AND I like those Kenko extension tubes - can I use them on my Canon 30D? Did you put 3 tubes on your camera?

Stripped down to the bone NOT very nice words MF.

Awesome capture - super colours and sharp details,

BRAVO and kia ora

Hello Greg !
Great picture, I love these little bugs ! They are so beautiful with their black and red stripes. Even if the conditions were difficult, you managed a great shot. Excellent details, natural colors, splendid composition and POV, and a great pose of your little friend, with head down. The beautiful blurred BG is so soft and smooth. Very well done !
