This dang beetle was moving way too fast to get many sharp shots! Plus, I don't think it was very pleased with being disturbed. :) Hopefully I'll get a couple of bonus votes for a natural, non macro shot? :D

Very nice, after looking a second time at this, the detail is great and everything about it is pretty good. (bumped from 8 to 9)
