Detail galore, I can't decide which I find more interesting the plant, or the bug. Thanks for sharing.

This is an exquisite capture! I have a weakness for things with six, eight, or zero legs, but that point notwithstanding, this is an excellent and well presented capture! Great work!!! Beautiful!

How interesting that the edges of the back carapace look like the scales of a turtle. The delicate etching of the upper shell is so precise and the teardrop on the back is exciting with that golden gleam.

green and black? I've only ever seen them in brown, must be region specific. Nice capture and interesting critter :P

WOOOW ! A really cool looking bug. Look at the light shining on the blank hair on its backside. An excellent macro. Well done :)))

I love how it seems to be looking thoughtfully out into the abyss. The angle and composition are great, especially how you play with diagonal lines. I think the colors could be brighter/more contrasty, but that's all I can see here to criticize. Excellent.
