AJHey there MuskyDude........what a beautiful color that beetle is, we just get those little black one's here, I think they are called Dung Beetles, years ago we used to get Christmas Beetles they were really colorful like your Beetle, but I have never seen one in all the years I have lived where I am now.

I have my fingers crossed that I find some bugs while I'm in USA later this year.
Thanks for showing us your pretty beetle....... Skippy (Australia)

Hey I just noticed......he's got white spots on the tail end of his back how cool:D

Hiya Skippy,

First off thanks and you are right about the white spots. Found that one just looking around in my backyard garden. I don't think you'll have problems finding interesting insect subjects in good 'ole U.S., if it's anything like here in Canada. I'll wish you luck though just in case...:thumb

Thanks Al. Of about a dozen shots I took, this one was by far the sharpest and in focus. Ok let me re-phrase that, this was the ONLY one that had any sharpness, and was also in focus...lol3

Thanks Al. Out of the dozen of so shots I took, this one was by far the sharpest and in focus. Or let me put that another way, this was the ONLY one that had any sharpness, with subject in focus... :lol3
