Excellent once again Paul.

I've had the opportunity to photograph one of these, and struggled with how shiney they are. You dont seem to have had any problems!

Don't forget the flash to factor in the cost of a flash if you don't have one,

Stunning beetle, not the easiest to shoot due to being so reflective, great control of light #1 is my pick out of these Mate.
