Shot this little chap (about 5mm long) on a flower, not worked what he is exactly.

Thanks Omri. Yes the lighting is less than ideal, I think just the keylight is showing, the head providing the fill-in must have got blocked by some vegitation. :cry:

It was shot with the MP-E at ~3:1 so I was very close and the lighting is from the side almost, he did not like the flash and kept running off - I let him be after a few shots.

Neat capture Lester- obviously a beetle of some kind I think.
