Hey guys,

Richard asked for some macro stuff. Here is a shot of a Long Horn Flower Beetle from this past season on Roan Mountain. They feed on the blooming Rhodies. Take a closer look at the flowers when you are shooting those landscape shots,there is no telling what you might see. :biggrin:

Its a beauty, Les. That luxuriant background with the deep greens and pink colorwash is delicious!

Hey, Les. It's a cool shot... the pink and green add depth to the image. It looks to me like Mr. Beetle is concerned about your intentions :eek:
