Red lily beetle. (Lilioceris lilii). Please enlarge.

Nice macro work Dimitri. Looks like is getting ready to fly in the blue area. Excellent colour combination and distribution too.

Thanks Mihali. I took the picture last summer and I showed it to my wife on the camera screen, she asked me where in the garden did I see it , when I did she went found it and killed it....:-). She is the gardener see. She afterwards explained to me that this little bug is a gardeners nightmare....Fortunately I followed it around for a while and I have some more pictures of it, but the col. combination is not as good.

Excellent macro and a good story ;-)... Mike

Thanks Mike. She knew the name of the bug but I looked up that fancy scientific name afterwards...:-).

I love the photo, the colour contrasts and the very shallow dof.  But the story behind it is so funny, your wife murdering your favourite model!   Keen gardener or jealous wife ha ha! 

 

Excellent work Dimitris!
