Sorry for such a terrible title, but as I took these photos of the weevil that was clambering across the leaves of one of my Lily of the Valley plants, I say what an amazing bodyshell (carapace? chetin?) it had and to me looks like it could have been made my a pair of knitting needles - hence the wooly pullover bit, lol...


Anyway, the weevil is a particularly harmful pest in the garden, and this one is going to have to be deposited outside of mine somewhere (nasty neighbour perhaps... - dare I?)


Here it is then, looking out over the tip of the leaf.


Ringflash used.

C&C as always appreciated.

I am sure I had a jumper like that years ago :D
A very nice pair (y)
 
Hi Trev.

I use the Sigma 105, and in this instance, I also used 2 extension tubs.


Paul.

More importantly to me - what lighting were you using? Looks quite nicely diffused in the shadows and from the eye reflection.
