I take this one in the garden with my little daughter Jimena, she press the button to take it. We used a magnifying glass ass a little macro lens.
This insect are famous by its nasty, ugly "fragance". Many times enter in houses in dry clothes and flying.

Green bug (Nezara viridula)
(Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)]
During April and until principles of May, as the last generation of the green bug reaches the adult state, their populations fly towards places protected in woods and constructions in the rural area.
Great number of individuals can reach great distances attracted by the light source of the urban centers, where they are concentrated looking for protection in different places like houses, buildings, trees, etc. This behavior is very different from the one from the other species of bugs of the complex that attacks the soybean as the bug of the alfalfa, the brown bug and alquiche small, that in the coldest months of the year looks for refuge underneath the strubbles, pastures and off road with much cover. After spending several months protected of the colds of the winter, the bugs leave the winter places, at the beginning of September and generally reinitiate their activity to feed and to reproduce in different plants and cultives that in addition to the wheat include cultures like colza, linen, fruit trees, plants of orchards and numerous weeds, specially nabos and other crucífers. From half-full of October it is observed a pronounced migration from the wheat towards other cultures and weeds. The observations conducted on the green bug indicate that its presence in wheat lasts few weeks, not being developed important populations of nymphs, as it happens in alfalfa, wild linen and nabo. By the end of November and principles of December the first generation of green bug reaches the adult state and its migration to new guests begins. The observations conducted on the green bug in wheat indicate that its presence in this culture lasts few weeks, not being developed important populations of nymphs, as it happens in alfalfa, wild linen and nabo.

Hello Hernan,
Nice macro. Great DOF, color, sharpness, and detail.
You managed the bright light with a minimum of reflection, and the composition works for me too :)
Well done & TFS!

Coincido con la crítica de Marhowie Hernan, aunque el control de la luz para mí no sea el ideal... aquí si creo que regulando al exposición de la cámara, podés obtener mejores resultados, tanto en la luz en sí como en los colores obtenidos.
Espero que entiendas que las críticas que hago de tus fotos son siempre constructivas y que tal vez te ayuden a mejorar en el uso de tu cámara... gracias a consejos así aprendí lo mucho o poco que exhibo actualmente en mis presentaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo... y a ver cuando publican fotos sacadas por Jimena también che!.

Hi Hernan,
An excellent shot by you and your daughter. It is good to get her started on the love of nature and photography at an early age. The colors and detail look really good in this shot. Great notes. Very well done. I give the credit to Jimena!

Hola Hernàn: Un macro bastante bueno de estos bichos repugnantes por su mal olor. Podrìa haber estado mejor pero, dado el estado de tu càmara, no se puede pedir màs.
