Beautiful bug on a flower.
Excellent shot.
Maybe it should have been off center to complete the composition.

Paulo Henrique, infelizmente, não posso ajudá-lo quanto à identificação, mas, ainda assim, uma excelente foto.

Talvez eu tentaria uma composição diferente, com o inseto um pouco menos fora do centro; contudo, isso é apenas uma opinião.

Excelentes cores.

Hello Paulo, this is a nicely detailed shot. The focus is great and very nice colours. You did very well for F5.0. My only suggestion would be to crop off some of the space behind the bug. Well done.

Hi Paulo Henrique, I have no time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smily.

Weekend thought:
The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical.
It is the sower of all true science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.
To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists,
manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty
which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms,
this knowledge, this feeling, is at the centre of true religiousness.
- Albert Einstein -

Thank you for sharing pictures and notes and for the enjoyment which they give to me.

Oi Paulo, eu tenho o mesmo problema de identificação. Tenho encontrado bichos maravilhosos, mas eles não vem com uma etiqueta com o nome. Na verdade nem sei o que são... em quanto a foto, que cores e definição. Gostei meu amigo. Muito bom DOF. Parabéns. Gabriel

Hi Paulo!
a good composition with the diagonal perches crossing the frame...maybe the bug should be a little off-center to improve the composition?
great DOF and lighting!
Thanks for sharing!

This is what we call i nFrance, i think, a "Réduve". Excellent shot, insect is entirely sharp and the diagonals of the flower branches make a nice composition.

It gets its name from biting its victim and contaminating the blood with a disease called 'Chaga' (American trypanosomiasis) which weakens the nervous system and heart muscles causing heart attacks, it has been givin the name 'The Assasin Bug'. It has a long proboscus that can penetrate human skin with ease, I always watch out for these guys when in Latin America. :)

Awesome shot Paulo!!!

I photographed these killers in Central America.
