That is about the shiniest green bug I have seen! Is it some kind of beetle?

Wow.. you spot an alien for real! See.. it has a sleek green body and big round black eyes and stick-like limbs.. the very definition of an alien! lol

Amazing capture K. Never seen a green bug before.. and a one this glamorous.

Wow! Looks so glamorous.

Could have been better if the focus is on its head I guess (I know it’s not a easy task to focus on a tiny bug like this one:)

Loshini said...

His feelers are a bit weird, no? Interesting macro by the way!

Knatolee said...

So vibrant, it doesn't look real! It's gorgeous.

George,
Yes it is a beetle. But dunno who painted him with such an attractive color :)

Rainfield,
Absolutely, superb paint job by Mother Nature!

Harumi,
I agree with you. Those antennas are communicating with the moon Pandora. Should be the first time he landed from outer space. :D

ABRAHAM LÓPEZ MORENO,
¡Muchas gracias! Thanks very much!!

Anjana,
Yep, should have been much better if I could get that view. I tried to get one from the front but he flew off :)

Loshini,
Yep they are look like some kind of a high tech communication device :)

Knatolee,
Yep, must be a star in the bug world. :)
