Went by the gardens on the way home and found another cold beetle clinging to a milkweed stem. Moved it over to a raised bed and took a few and left it nice and snug in some mulch.

Looks like another productive day at the gardens Kenny. I like the shot angle of #2. Like I said before, I am really liking your lighting now. I think the specular highlights you are getting with these reflective guys look pretty natural. In the first shot, the highlight on his "shoulder" area may be a little too defined and looks a little man made, but the others are fine to me. | | | |

Very nice series Kenny. Kind of scary at that magnification.
