[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Maybe some of you remember my picture titled Raspberry Hill. This one have been taken a bit earlier and it's very similar though the creature captured here is quite different.

I'm not really sure what is this, but I think it can be a nymph of Squash Bug Coreus marginatus. As always any ideas about the right ID will be very welcome.

I found many of these quite odd looking fellows on a raspberry shrubs in my garden. They are quite funny actually mostly because of their huge horns and quite stiff look. They resemble little brown robots when walking or at least knights in very uncomfortable armours ;)

Interesting colorful picture. Nice contrast of the little bug with blurred BG. The Rasberry looks very sweet, but the bug leave on fructs disgusting smack.

Hi Monika, sharpen and colors are very beautiful. This is a very nice composition. Great work. Thank you for posting.

Very strange insect Monika! I like your serie. Raspberry looks delicious, I like to eat it :-) Bug isn't maybe tasty, but very interesting for sure. You take great pictures with your small and simply cam!

That one looks cute, Monika!
I very much enjoy the amusing pose, the delightful colours and the extremely close distance. I remember these bugs very well from devouring raspberries fresh from the plant in the woods. These bugs taste horrible. But they do look funny, even loveable - when seen through your camera. Sorry I can't help with the ID.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Monika,
the composition and POV are very good.
Nice colours and good details. I like the DOF too.
Well done.

Hello Monika,
Well composed, great POV & details. Luv that rasberry color! Well done.
Thank you!

hi monika
j'ai aussi des punaises qui viennent sur les franboise de mon jardin et cela leur laisse un mauvais gout.
cette photo est tres bonne pour ses couleurs et son DOF.

The raspberry looks very inviting! and I think the bug thinks so too.

Mmmmmm raspberries, one of my favorites, I guess I will have to wash them more carefully from now on, since seeing what crawls over them... :-)

An excellent composition, Monika, with wonderful colors, details, exposure and POV.

Nicely done, thank you!

Hi, Monika

I do remember the previous bug. This is another one I don't like to eat toghether with my wild raspberries, but it happened before.
I don't have anything against these little bugs, just the fact that they ruin the sweet wild raspberry taste.

Regards, Petru

Nice close-up of the raspberry and bug. Colur contrast is especially pleasing. The insect world comes up with some amazing adaptations dosen't it.
