Itsy bitsy little bug
looks like he could use a hug
So I came close,
but his fear arose....
And now a writers block struck me, so there will be no last line. Deal with it! 😎

Every photo trip has those last photos. Usually takes in a hurry, with the correct settings... and least that's what happens to me.

This little bugger was the last one. There was this large patch of dry grass near the car. In the heat all turned yellow and pale. And then I noticed those dark spots.

Buuuugs!!

I had to hold the long grass with one hand and try to focus with the other. Luckily the bug was calm and quite cooperative.
I had no idea what I was doing really and the bright, noon sun didn't help. But I did manage to catch those cute antennas.

I loved the depth of field of these photos, nice snaps sir..

VERY cool shots of this little beetle? not sure of the bug, but the images and photography are amazing.

Thank you :)
*(no bugs were roasted for those shots either!)

Antennas look like small hands. Good thing he was in the mood for a photoshoot 🤣

Yea, the antennas were my favourite part :)

Sorry, out of BEER, please retry later...

No beer! :o
The world is ending!

Hahahaaa😂🤣... I can relate to the hustle and effort that comes with taking shots of micro objects/insects.

It was an impressive shot afterall. Love your works. Wouldn't mind being your new Fan 😉

Thank you! It ain't easy sometimes...

Those antennas are really cool. And who says every poem has to come to a neat conclusion?

Excellent photos, as always. Love those antennas!

Exactly... my poem - my rules :p

It's a May bug.
We used to catch them as children and put them in a matchbox. It's very funny scratching its paws there. Then they let me go.

It was much smaller than May Bug - those are huge! :p

Yes, I was wrong
