Hallo Joey
What an fascinating bug. In my opinion it is shaped like a shield and it looks like it is carrying a haversack on its back. The orange dot in the centre could easily be the buckle to open and close it. Do I sound crazy? I always try to see something different in a photo than just the most obvious. I found this Forest Bug very interesting to look at and enjoyed the notes just as much. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards

It is impressive how many of these Shield bugs there are. All of them seem somewhat different in colourings and perhaps size, but they have a rather distinct shape don't they? This is a crystal clear image in natural colours. It has an eye enhancing perch and backdrop but still fills enough of the frame to make it quite the examination insect. Very nicely done Joey.

Hi Joe,

Another new insect for me too. Great macro showing all the shadings and textures of this Forest Bug. The designs and combinations of colors in Nature are truly awesome. Beautiful on the green leaf and green background.

Joey,
there ou go, right into the Hall of Fame for such a wonderful picture. Your picture goes a long way to explain how much more interesting insects are when we look at them closely. You did not explain your obviously perfect technique in detail: the light is so good, DOF ok despite f/3.2.
Best regards

Joey, you are now in the professional realm with your pictures, they are so beautiful, sharp, colourful, with superb DOF. You always have the sense of the point of view, like this one. I love the green background, letting more details on the leaf. The details on the bug are surprisingly sharp and colourful. Thank you!
