I was wandering in my garden on a late summer afternoon here in Italy when I saw this cool fellow checking on me. I put my eye in the viewfinder of my Pentax K5, got as close as possible and fired as many shots as I could. This is my favorite photo of the serie. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers and stay tuned for new bugs!

FYI, if I had the time I would comment on all your bug photos! You're the bug man! I've tried, but they never want to stay still for me. Great work

Stunning and brilliant macro. Quite stubborn locust and a good poser, considering that you came so close and it did not wink an eye. Nature is wonderful. Just that it needs 'an eye' for it. Otherwise we trample over these beauties in our haste for what we think is important in our lives. Well done, Poalo!

Hi, very detailed shot. As I also use Pentax K-x, would like to ask, what lens are you using for close ups?

What lense did you use? why can't we see the Aperture? did you use the inverse ring?
