good timing, as you say they don't seem to like flying.

Great series and nice timing on the last shot. What kind of bug is this?

The lift off shot is neat Bill. Never seen a shield bug with a stripe like that.

Excellent captures Bill - this is very hard to do from my experience. Very nice looking shield bug, love the colours and you did a nice job of lighting here to boot. All in all, good work!

Very nice series Bill. I've never seen one of these ready for take-off before. They've always been still or gone...
