 Japanese Beetle. Horrid little bugs, in general, and this one is the scout for the coming invasion, I'm sure. My poor plants are going to have very holey leaves in no time.

Didn't know before I took these shots that they had little deely boppers on their antennae. Tiny little redeeming feature ;-)

36mm extension tube, handheld.

PP - cropped, levels, increased saturation on bug, increased contrast, resized, sharpened, added border.

I think he's already been by my house. My roses have all but died after being eaten by something. Great dof on this and those little deely boppers are quite awesome!

Haha. Love your title. The dof is cool. Good luck to your garden - can you spray for these critters or would that be too generally destructive?

Too much mascara : )
The super shallow DOF in this strongly accents the area that you were interested in sharing.

Recognized that critter right away. Nasty bugs. Haven't seen one yet this season but soon. Nice shot
