Green Shieldbug Nymph

[Jason Crest]

The 20mph westerlies have played havoc with my macro and cycling - just a shot of a shieldbug for my efforts.

Pentax-M 50mm 1.7 lens with 10mm extension tube and close up lens combo - 50% crop and leaf yellowed for contrast.

Thanks guys - I was a bit unsure because it looks like it is giving a Nazi salute but a quick check confirmed that is a right arm thing

Looks good to me albeit very green The arm is its antennae btw
I like it cos it looks like it has little booties on its feet

Nice shot. Love the 'greenness'.

I tried out a reversed lens for the first time today - definitely more "greenness"
