It appears to be some short of Shield bug. I think if you google it you might find the exact species. A tad over zealous on the sharpening for my taste but great job on the exposure.

Looks slightly bright on my monitor but there is no doubt that this is an excellent capture.

That is one strange looking critter. Looks like some kind of beetle. Good shot, very sharp. You have a steady hand if this was hand held.

Waugh! it's got killer feelers doesn't it? & that proboscis looks like maybe I don't want that bug on my skin! Nice capture, Mary, good to be sharing a SC with you once again.
