Mylabris Quadripunctata is a Blister Beetle Bug that occurs widely in the south of Europe and in Turkey. The 13-16 mm long beetle can be recognized from the orange to bright red shields, the rest of the body being black. The antennae are clearly segmented and broadest at the ends. 'Quadripunctata' means "four points", referring to the four large black spots on its body.

Nice shot. I grew up in Zimbabwe and we had blister beetles. They had yellow spots on the back here in Cape Town we don't have such a vast array of bugs .

That's a very interesting dialgue between this little cute insect and presumably you.... may I ask you what kind of focus technique you use?.... manual, automatic...etc?

The pose, sharpness and eye to eye composition is wonderful. And that show shutter speed with such delicate
material is a truly excellent capture. Portraiture can be contemplative or empathetic. This is the best of both. Congratulations
