tightrope beetle and other macro

avatar

My yesterday insect finds for #fascinatinginsects and #beautifulsunday. A bittersweet post for me cause while shooting the little green buggy, my camera died... a good start of macro season :/ not sure what I am supposed to do now to enjoy my 2-month summer vacations.

a strange kind of cockroach: wild, non-domesticated, silvery one. maybe this is not a cockroach at all? I do not know for sure.

unknown green buggie, was very funny to shoot... until my camera stopped working on it, for no reason.

Beautiful close-ups ! My favourite is the first one, I would have chosen the same as cover 😄 generally speaking I'm not a big fan of insects, and find them giving me rough time of itching and scratching when there are a lot in my environment...which is sometimes complicated as I love to be in nature...LoL

I love them only when I observe them thru the macro-lens, probably :P
