Description It's been so warm this year that I found a beetle in my back yard even though it's November. Same beetle as in the "Junebug Reflection" set.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F14, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (1x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. Shot against a piece of green plexiglass to keep the background from being black.

In Italiano we call this wonderful scarab "Cetonia Aurata", I really like them. They looked scary when I was a child, but now I know how delicate they are. They spend all their life on plants and flowers and play dead when attacked. Unfortunately, where I live now I never saw them.

Back in Missouri we called them "June Bugs"

The color in this photo is beautiful, so vivid, and every hue contributes wonderfully to the overall effect. Great shot!

Thanks

This is my favorite from that series, for the reasons you listed.
