Bug...of course.
Ambush bugs are really one of my favorite subjects. They don't really move around much, and they are just cool to look at up close. This one had actually been probing the flowers around the top of this Mexican Hat. I guess he was hungry and not having luck catching a fly or wasp. I really want to get a good photo of one of these with prey. :2
All comments welcome. Oh, and before anyone asks about DOF, I took some at f16, but the background goes black and you can't get the entire scene in focus anyway. I liked the focus on the insect on this one better as well as the green background.
Canon 5D II, Canon MP-E 65, MT-24 Flash diffused,ISO 800, f9.0, 1/200, slight crop off the left and typical Lightroom exposure adjustments.
