A perfect and unique view of a stinkbug Joe, that long proboscis is indeed very much in evidence, the focus sharp and the colors natural my friend. They can be a nuisance if you like eating mulberries from the branches of mulberry trees, for if a stinkbug was there before you, you will discover their past presence the moment you mouth the berries, but (unfortunately) not before!
Cheers,
Mehmet

There should be a sign somewhere which reads...it it's a shield bug then spring is surely coming from Joey! I like it much Joey. Very close, sharp and well coloured...I now see thanks to Warnzy's Digi mag from the UK, how serious some folks take their photography over there...You folks are dead serious...Even my US professional journals are not as good as some of thee UK folk. Wonderful example here!

Hi Joe,

You amaze me. Not only do you take these wonderful macros of so many insects but you know what each one is! Wish both would rub off on me. Oh, so this is what a stink bug is. You show him in good detail. Nice colors and I love the legs.

Hi Joe.
Amazing macro shot of very nice colourful bug at impressive scenery. I like wonderful diagonal composition of the shot and your direct POV, skill use flash light and well illuminated BG, great sharpness of the insect and its substrate and perfectly smoothed BG. Well done and TFS.

Hello Joe,
I see that you have had a really sunny February and this shieldbug must be one of the results. It is a fine capture and I like the POV from the side in this sharp macro. The diagonal composition is excellent.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Ivan
