Thanks Carol
amarica

You are turning out some unique photos Ken, excellent. They look like drawings, love it
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks very much for the kind words amarica. They certainly go a long way when just one of these insect macro shots may take upward of 4 hours to capture (getting the right moment). Thanks again

Thanks ApeArt
Lesley Smither...

Outstanding macro Ken, I have many of these bugs in my garden on my citrus trees. They are called Bronze Orange Bugs who suck sap from the shoots of citrus plants. Be careful around the adult bugs as they can secrete a corrosive, smelly substance and are able to squirt it at a considerable distance!
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks for the info Lesley. You are absolutely right. They really do emit a toxic smell
Lance Leopold

Kuulei2you

Ken, Very nice ! Great clarity I may have to go out bug collecting now! I do the same thing with flowers sometimes when it is raining and want to mess with my camera so off I go to get some bugs. Thanks Kuulei
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks very much Kuulei. It certainly makes a poor day into something more favourable
Kuulei2you

Yes, I agree! It is so addicting to have photos to up load on to the computer and view the days catch.

Gareth Chalklen

Brilliant work. Love all your macros
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks very much Gareth
Mary Campbell

Fantastic Macro shot, and such coloring. I think I saw beatles like this in South Africa, I’m curious where you took it?
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks for the lovely comment Mary. This was taken at Wollongong Australia (South of Sydney). These little critters have series of holes down each side of their body. Its from these holes that they emit a foul smelling odour. Hence the common name “Stink Bug”
Mary Campbell

Oh, that explains it. I’ve always heard of stink bugs and thought I might of seen one or two, but nothing this colorful. Again, just a wonderful shot.
Caroline Evans...

great work!
Ken Boxsell replied

Robyn Carter

Marion Cullen

Good Lord, he’s winking at me! (thankfully, not stinking) :-)
Simply an amazing macro!
Ken Boxsell replied

Lol. Thanks heaps Lumineux
clarkey

I love this one – the colours are quite incredible. He looks like he is resting on his “belly’ with his feet in mid-air. With his eyes on the outside of his antennae and the “nose” between, it looks almost comical. I love the angle you shot this from.
Ken Boxsell replied

Thanks heaps Clarkey. Its for the same reasons that I enjoy this image so much. He does look rather funny
Matt Hurrell

What a fantastic shot. It’s like going head-to-head with a living tank!
Ken Boxsell replied
