Greetings,
Looks like a long horn beetle to me. Any idea? I'm still trying out my new 100L IS macro, and experimenting a different lighting set-up. This is shot without my MR-14EX ring flash. Comments and critics please. Enjoy...

Good one - not a beetle but a plant bug of some type - it will have a folded proboscis under it's head.

Greetings,
Can it be a stink bug?

Might be but a bit difficult to tell from this angle.
