Hi Joe!
I am sorry for delay :)
This is one of the best macro of Pentatomidae bugs I have seen in TN's gallery! Not only with great DOF and details but also very sharp and colourful!
I really believe that Luciano will like this beautiful image :)
Very good work my Friend!
Best regards from Lodz!

Fine details and great use of flash Joe..These bugs are very hard to get complete DOF, as seen here.
The greens & browns look very good on yellow, nice job on this :)

Joe, you are using your converter with your macro lens very deftly now. This image of a Shield Bug is extraordinarily sharp with every detail on the bug so very precise even our human eyes cannot see them that clearly.
The colours too on this shiny bug are truly beautiful.
The use of fill flash for this shot was a judicious choice.
Kudos -- to use Sumon's pet expression!
