Some bugs are easier to spot than others
This is an Italian striped bug aka minstrel bug (Graphosoma lineatum), pyjamawants in Dutch. You can't miss it:
Olympus XZ-1, ISO400, 28mm, f5.6, 1/80s
And yes, sometimes you can pull off a wide-angle macro shot!
Here's two of them making more:
Olympus XZ-1, ISO100, 112mm, f8, 1/250s
Thanks for watching!
Excellent photographs! Don't think I've ever seen any quite like that... "minstrel bug" does seem like a good name for it.
Looks like it's family with some ladybug.
This is really amazing. This beetle is really the same as I saw some time ago, it's just the beetle that you shoot is more colorful and nice.
Thank for sharing @orcdu
