Just 2...

WOW! Those ARE neat looking bugs! I like the first the best

 

[AlexisRhea]

Thanks! I think the first is my favorite. That was the last shot before it got angry and chased me 20 feet away from the milkweed I was near. LOL

Great use of depth-of-focus effect on the first one!

 

[Stranger]

#1 looks almost painted, great job

Does anyone know what this second bug is? I'd like to ID for my records, but rainbow bug doesn't pull much up on google. LOL

 

[Peniole]

Very nicely done, especially the first bug.

 

[doenoe]

nice. I havent got a clue what kind of beetle that is, but the colors are groovy

 

[JosephMillar]

Wow, we don't get those type of bugs in Ireland! Well done :hail:

doenoe-- YOU Rock! Thanks so much for the id!! I thought it was so neat when I found it- and of course I found among the milkweeds and dogbane- hooray!

JM- thanks! I'm sure you have some really cool things in Ireland that I don't have here!

Snownow- thanks
