This morning I passed the local AC milan fanclub in nynäshamn,there were hundreds of shieldbugs (or Graphosoma lineatum) in the bushes and ferns along the road,when I saw this quartet working on the future generation I knew I had to make a capture of it,the picture is slightly cropped and postprocessed in CS3,hope you like it and tfw.

bonjour paul
je ne suis pas fan de football mais j'aime bien l'allusion faite au club italien,ces punaises arlequins sont tres presente en ce moment sur le site mais il est vrai qu"avec de telles couleurs on ne peut pas les louper.ici c'est vraiment une"orgie"!
bien vu.

Great title, you should sell your idea to the club.

Great comosition of these mating bugs.
Great sharpness and good POV. Good contrasting colours against the green leaves.
Chris

Hahahahahaha......LOL........Wonderful title Paul.
The fanclub has something to celebrate with AC winning the Cup :)
Nice colors and color contrast. Sharpness is perfect, but it seems to me that lighting was a bit harsh and therefore contrast is a little to high in this image.
Best regards, Harry
