Bug macro for Saturday Critter

 


I do not know the name of this insect, yet I am taken by the way its red and green are set in vivid contrast within the frame, as though nature herself had paused to compose a small, living harmony of colour—spotted in the Melbourne Botanic Garden, a place usually rather unremarkable, but here briefly redeemed by this quiet flourish of colour.

  1. ...Google Lens says it might be Oedemera nobilis.

  3. Muy buen macro de ese pequeño insecto que se posa sobre esa hoja de color perfecto para que él tome el protagonismo pero, dejando que el entorno brille por su lado.
    Un abrazo

  4. Si que contrasta el color de las hojas con el insecto, lo que le hace muy visible a sus posibles depredadores.

    Saludos.

  5. I don't know what it is either but it' a great photo. The iridescence of the wings are amazing. Stop by my blog on Sunday. I have a new art link up. I hope you will be interested. Have a great day.

  7. Preciosa macro. Cuando se amplia la imagen se ven perfectamente la bella gama de colores que contrastan con el rosa del fondo.

  8. The color stripes on this insect contrast perfectly with the bright pink flower it is sitting on.
