I found this Cardinal Beetle a few days after the one in my recent previous post. As it was afternoon I didn't have the option of the beautiful early morning light (as in my previous post) so decided to use flash.
Hiding behind the leaf and taking up a low angle I waited for the beetle to pop his head out of the leaf and hey presto!
The beetle then turned his gaze away from me and I was lucky enough to capture the moment.
