Very nice series David. That's a cool looking shield bug.

[Geoff F]

I wonder if the shieldbug might be a Parent Bug (Elasmucha sp) which is quite variable in colour. But it could be one that we don't get here.

Not sure about the hairy beetle either.

The pair look a bit like Cantharis species but I don't recognise them and there are so many similar options.

Cheers Jim, I'm always amazed at the different colours of there guys!

[deetheturk]

Thanks Geoff, we seem to get quite a different variety over here still it keeps us, or should I say the more talented of us, guessing

[DanK]

excellent shots, as usual. I like #1 the best. the angles make a very nice composition.

[Shadowman]

Nice series.

[IzzieK]

#1 is very colourful. I like that one... You know what it is?
#2, Mr. Darth Vader look-alike is scary...black thing!
In #3, do I have to guess what they are doing? or are they mother and child thing?
#4, along with #1 is my favourite here...they are cute...

Another good set David.

No 1 stands out for me, the colour, the pose and we really see the texture of it's 'shield' well !

Yes David I'm finally back in Fiji after two months in the UK. I should have stayed longer as I've returned to cold windy dismal weather and a quick look around has revealed the bugs here are hiding and waiting for the sun to shine

I'll shortly post a few 'snaps' of my trip.

Cheers, Grahame

[deetheturk]

Look forward to viewing them Grahame, for some reason we are getting windy weather here, not bad wind but enough to play havoc with my Macro

Cheers David

[JBW]

I'm not going to get shots like this with the new camera. But then again I wouldn't get them with the old one either. Beautiful colour and clarity.

Cheers B, I'm sure when you save up for your Macro lens you will be more than capable
