Water Spider and Leaf Legged Shield Bug

[PixelRabbit]

Couple I just finished editing.
This is the best one of the Shield Bug yet! Rather "dusty" creatures.
Wish there was a bit more sharpness in the water spider but he was pretty far offshore. Still pretty happy with the result.

C&C welcome and appreciated as always

Very nice, the second one sure is an odd looker.

Thanks Thunder, the shield bugs are in a greenhouse with fig trees. Apparently they aren't the nicest bug, our cat is an avid bug hunter and consumer and flinches at the sight of them and won't go near them lol
