Miniature beetle on feverfew flower. Taken in my backyard on November 2009 with a Nikon D90, 18-105mm lens + snap-on magnifying lens. The background is natural.
Melbourne, Australia.
Featured in The Beauty of Nature" Group – March 2010.
Viewed large and WOW. this is just so beautiful, love his detail against the white petal. what size snap on lens did you use? I have a +4 magnifying screw on one
I think it was a 6 Karen. Will double check on that. Appreciate the lovely comments !!
