Amazing colors and details! It _might_ be a little bit out of focus on the eyes, but my eyes are drawn to the amazing back body of the insect. Well done!

@Jannet: Vor einigen Jahren habe ich nur Vögel oder was sonst halt so fliegt und kriecht beobachtet. Durch Zufall lernte ich Digiscoping kennen. Der einzige Nachteil: Früher war ich glücklich, wenn ich das Tier gesehen habe. Jetzt möchte ich auch ein Foto von ihm haben. Danke für das Lob ! Grüße Sonja

I don't usually think of bugs and such as beautiful, but this one is, as is your shot. I'm impressed that you always know the names too.
