Oh, just ONE? Superb macro, and they are beautiful, but... This year I have resolved to be ruthless in trying to get rid of them, to little avail. They're really a nusiance. (But I meant to say -- great picture, anyway!)

WOW, this is excellent close up Herbert. He is looking at you! Take care! ;-)
cheers

It's a great macro of a Japanese beetle. They're destructive littl critters and very hard on roses. You got this one before he ate any holes in the rose so the shot is perfect.

Nice and crispy shot here. That Makro lens performs good, as I can see

Good work, Herb! Caught in the act...
Guest 16-Sep-2004 00:04
Ewwwww! Great shot, Herb!

These Japanese Beetles have been buzzing around Presidio golf course by the hundreds for months now. The beetles arent so destructive, but the larvae are a menace to agriculture.

incredible shot! Like the colours too, very sharp.
