vijay 02-Apr-2009 04:07

Perry 14-Sep-2008 20:06
To what order do beetles belong?
Emilia N. Coate 16-Jul-2008 02:28
I am a future Entomogist and ( even though I'm 12 years old) inspire me to one day get a better camera than what I have today. But for now, I'm stuck with my camera that I have now. Wonderful pictures! And nice angles.

Dear Sir or 'Mam,

Why is the ''Leather winged Beetle on a daisy'' camofladge?

-Clarissa Marie Lopez
claire 26-Jun-2008 02:36

meaza 17-Jun-2008 23:45
Dear Sir

lisa 25-Feb-2008 01:37

xavia 05-Feb-2008 22:56
Has anyone ever heard of a web site where there may be 3d photos of Beetles?
Barbara Tolomei 06-Sep-2007 21:10
Stunning photo of the Locust Borer. I am an avid Coleoptera fan, love your work.
Ron Barrow 31-Jul-2007 18:04
The rich palette nature has provided to the beetle families is well comlemented by your masterful photography.
The provision of the scientific names of the beetles would be helpful to me.

Excellent macros, Prof!
Alana 27-Oct-2006 16:14
great pictures but you should have information on them
Mark 11-Apr-2006 15:42
I just purchased a macro lens and I have been on the look out for some tips, techniques, and inspiration. Thanks. Your site has been a great tool and is very inspirational.
Janet Forjan-Freedman29-Oct-2005 00:22
Very impreesive gallery! Janet
Erica 23-Oct-2005 06:49
You have things here that aren't beetles. Brown stink bugs, for example, are in Order Hemiptera, not Order Coleoptera. Great pics, though.

Absolutely gorgeous pictures.
Fabienne16-May-2004 22:32
