The Green-Eyed Monster

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united

with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.- Goya

 

…Thank you in advance for your comments,

Amazing art.. wonderful creature. Where was this taken? What is the name of this animal.. beautiful.

I love the colors and the clarity. Well done

This is one cute green monster wrapped up in the bubble of lovely light....i even don't know is it still monster or not ...:)

A beast in its own world. A gem of a picture.

I would,nt call it a monster.Very beautiful shot.

Liz, thank you for stopping by and commenting, I’m glad you found this of your liking. It was taken in a small town south of Mexico City, by the name of Tepoztlan, and I’m pretty sure this bugs names is Pepe, however I’m not so sure about his scientific name….perhaps: Cetonia Aurata….. Anyway, I’ve heard he likes Tequila ;)

 

Tony, thank you, I admire your work and am very thankful for your visit and comment.

 

Tatjana, it’s always so nice to have you visiting. I’m glad you liked this, I must admit he’s quite a lovely lad, however once he’s turned on tequila, he can be one hell of a monster ;)

 

Thank you Jack, for your words I would think you know Pepe, the beast in his own world….or so they say among them beetles.

 

Thank you too Birte….seriously I was really interested on exploring macro photography, with out falling on the usual clichés, I was aiming towards “unsightly monster” rather than “nice-looking beetle” ....I don't really think I did it though
