Wow you've got some really great macro shots! This is so neat that you found them like that.

Artist Reply: Yeah, I'm not sure what the reason was for this little huddle but I thought it was neat too! I think sometimes the bugs themselves make the shot because they do things we don't really think about. It's sort of the luck of the draw on getting some of the photos. I just shoot what I find & appreciate finding it! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.

Creepy little buggers. Great shot!

Interesting! Great shot! ... These are Stink bug nymphs.

Artist Reply: Thanks for comments & for letting me know; appreciate it!

I see they are dining together. Well done. p.s. they are beetles, not larvae.

Artist Reply: I thought they looked like beetles too! Thanks for comments & for dropping by!

Shelley Walden 13 May 2011

Love this! Intriguing!

Artist Reply: They are definitely different. Thanks for checking them out!

Anonymous Guest 11 May 2011

These are not beetles, but the larvae of (true) bugs

Artist Reply: Thanks for pointing that out. I really didn't know what they were; had never seen them before. What do they look like later?

It's strange to see how this beatles look like. If I look at the european ones, they have a stronger shield the way I know them.

Artist Reply: I guess I'm not familiar with European beetles but then I'm not exactly sure what these are! Thanks for stopping by to check out my pics!

Makes feel just abit icthy looking at these, but I still love the colors and deatail.

Artist Reply: Yeah, when you stalk bugs you do sometimes get itchy! But if I get a good shot, it's worth it. Thanks for the nice comment!

Artist Reply: Thank you Patricia!

Cynthia Stayte 04 May 2011

Great shots!! The top picture I thought at first that they looked plastic, their shell is so colorful and glossy. Great capture!!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much! We had a lot of these that one year. It was the first time I had ever seen them. Hoping they come back again for more photo ops!
