Another Spotted Cucumber Beetle form the Fruit and Spice Park. They make lots of changes so the home for this little guy should be gone by the time I return, hope he finds another to its liking !!!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

What a sweet capture! I can't believe those little spots all over him - are those eggs? Neat bug and you really razored in on him. The entire image feels a tiny bit dark to me but that might just be my screen. I have got to find a way to get a 180 macro!!! You and Fabs are killing me!
Hi Alfred. You and Fabs are creating some great images of these colorful beetles. Good sharpness and DOF. It looks a tad dark on my monitor too. The eggs are intriguing - is it eating them? Whose are they? Need to send in a bug detective, I guess. :)
