[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Mr. Carpocoris (or Ms?) was quite hidden in a Wild Carrot when a very big and strange animal came close to him, masking sometimes the sun and making noise with a strange black thing. Frightening! Finally, the strange animal went away and Mr. Carpocoris has found his shelter.

The Carpocoris purpureipennis is a Heteroptera of the Pentatomidae family. The colours can vary. This shield bug can be seen from May to September.
--------------------------------------------------------
M. Carpocoris (ou Mme?) était paisiblement caché dans une carotte sauvage quand un grand et étrange animal est venu près de lui, masquant parfois le soleil et faisant du bruit avec un étrange objet noir. Effrayant ! Finalement, l’animal étrange s’en est allé et M. Carpocoris a retrouvé son abri.

Le Carpocoris purpureipennis est un hétéroptère de la famille des pentatomidés (punaises). Ses couleurs peuvent varier. Il est visible de mai à septembre.

Salut Catherine,j'ai fais dans ces jours des photos comme ca (pas le meme insect) mais je trouve que les carottes sauvages sont un background exceptionel,tu ne trouve pas? Mes compliments pour les parfaits details et couleurs du capocoris,pas facile,il a lui aussi des mauvaises reflections et le capturer si parfaictaiment c'est un gros resultat! Bon Mercredi,Luciano

Very very beautiful shot! Absolutely great natural colours! Great dof and composition! Very nice sharpness and detail too!

Bonjour Catherine,
Une image très bien construite, très artistique pour présenter une punaise qui dévoile ici une beauté insoupçonnée. Les carottes sauvages sont elles aussi photogéniques! Une image magnifique
Bon après-midi
