[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have taken quite a few shots of this kind of insect, not knowing anything about it [not even what it's called. I called it Milan bug because of the red and black stripes which look like the Milan's football team colours. Can anyone help with some information?
Thanks.

Nice shot! The focus is very sharp, which I really like. The lighting in the picture is too bright, and seems to wash out some detail in the bug. Maybe try enhancing the colors a bit and darkening it up some.

Good picture. I like the composition with all those pods surrounding the bug. It is a True Bug, family hemiptera, and its name is Graphosoma italicum. Those Milan colors actually warn off potential predators that the insect has a foul taste...
Well done

Bonjour,
Quels équilibristes ces insectes !
Il est tout à son affaire et étant donné les couleurs il ne doit pas être comestible !
