SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry - Bright Beetle
Hello,
This is my entry into the NatureMacro Steemit Photo Challenge #64. 📷
Male Hibiscus Harlequin Bug
dfinney May 2014 with Nikon Coolpix P510
I spotted the little fellow as I walked along the main street in Kiama, NSW Australia. He was just hanging out on a post, but his colorful markings really stood out.
The internet tells me these bugs (also called Cotton Harlequin Bugs) are a member of the Jewel Bug family. The females are mostly orange in color.
Thanks for checking out my snap. ☺️📷
