Very good Paul, you aint arf getting good.

Thanks all,
Mary Anne, i think this is a Stink Bug, i just know it as a Spined Citrus Bug, we get them on the Tangello and Tangerine trees.

Yvonne we only lose a couple of fruits to the pests so i just let them be, if they ruined a lot of fruit then i'd have to spray. Ugly but beautiful little critters eh?

Aam, play with it however much you want, i just resized it from the original and didn't give a thought to cropping.

Great shades of green and wonderful texture on the insect. Is it a stink bug?

Very nice Paul! Really like it. Can't stop wondering how it will look with a different crop. I'll play with it (if you don't mind) and let you know how it went.

Hi Paul, I really like this shot, the bug is really in focus and the colors could not be better. However, they are a few of these little weirdos in my garden right now! ( i think or some that look alike) I almost sprayed my screen! (with organic spray of course) Yvonne
