First time I've seen one of these- feeding on Hebe blossom, bug about 10mm long.
Think it's Oedemera nobilis.

I'm sure there's some food here somewhere

Thanks for the comments all. I was a bit dissappointed I couldn't get any other decent angles on it. (sun and bush in the way)

Thanks,
I started doing macro shots in May last year but as I'm retired I've been able to do an awful lot of practice since then :)

Wonderful shots as usual, Brian.

Are you using flash? If so, could you please tell me about your flash set-up?

Thank you very much for the information about your flash, Brian.

Has anyone on the forum purchased the Hakuba L-H1 Ball Head?
