Heinz 57 part2 (56K warning)

Another motley collection of bugs
Brian V.

Small bee about 10mm long posing

Fungus gnat? about 4mm long

Monk beetle about 4mm long- I made the name up BTW

Shieldbug #1 - focus stacked from 3 pics

Shieldbug #2- looks like it's made from copper or bronze

Ichneumon wasp about 4mm body length

It's that hoverfly again

Execellent series These pics are so awesome that it is nearly imposible to choose the best one

All great, but Shieldbug #1 is definitely my fav. Excellent work Brian.

Thanks Omri and Athena

Nice shots Brian - my fave is the flying hover fly, grand shot.

Excellent work Brian! Excellent! #1 and the last one are my favorites. Well done, Hatch

LOVELY shots, but what stands out to me is your made-up name for the monk bug. It is just perfect! Man, he's not only very talented, but he also has a wit...!

You definitely have this down to a fine art, simply outstanding!

For me its the pictures of the Shieldbug (both pics) - the clarity and detail are simply out of this world.

Man that hoverfly has a bunch of junk on its eye.. I wonder if that's bothering it.

Awesome shots, fantastic macro work I like all of them apart from the wasp one (I think it's the framing). Great stuff

For me it has to be the head-on shot of the shield bug. Fantastic capture!

Fantastic shots. I like #1 and #4 most. Good naming for the Monk beetle.

Thanks for the comments all
Not sure if the "monk" beetle is actually a weevil.

Love the head on shot of the Shield Bug, if the Monk Beetle really is a Weevil it might be better named a Hoody Bug
