The shield bug's markings are incredible up close! Amazing details...
Not sure what the final image is, but that yellow pops right off the screen. And the red tint in the eyes; a reflection of the antennae or just pigmentation... Pretty cool...
Thanks for sharing these images! These are some of the best up-close photos of insects I've seen here on Hive.
Cheers!
Nice close ups.. 😊
