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.

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

Thank you very much
