The thorn in my side (for the past several years) has been finding a balance between controlling Japanese Beetles (and their ravenous feeding habits) while maintaining a healthy environment for the butterflies in our gardens.

Wow!! it is amazing this photo is taken with an aperture of F2.8. I thought the aperture is smaller. Nice photo....^_^

Hmm David and Goliath all over again. Lovely shot.

Excellent shot..looks like it's going to lead into a territorial battle. Fantastic array of colors, very nice! Great DoF here as well. I know what you mean about those Japanese beetles as we have more than our fair share around here. Methods to control them, i.e bag traps, seem to work initally but after a while I think they wise up, as after a while they continue to create considerable havoc in the garden.

This is a wonderful shot. Nicely composed to tell the story.

I don't know who'd win this fight. The butterfly's bigger but the beetle has better protection.
I like how you captured the butterfly's probiscis here, fantastic.
Guest 18-Jul-2005 15:39
Extraordinary, as usual. Amazing clarity.

Absolutely stunning! So many things I like here. Really nice DoF, composition, wonderful colors and backlit wings, shot and presented perfectly. Vote.
