Red legged shield bug, I think ;)

This one was photographed at Exbury Gardens & Steam Railway yesterday in the New Forest, southern England. I guess the lovely critter hadn't done much modelling before as it kept wandering off. A windy day combined my four year old son's selective hearing helped to increase the challenge.

For those that are interested this single image was created using:

1. Canon MP E Macro 65mm F2-.8 macro lens at x5 life size
2. Canon 1DX MK2 camera body ISO 500, f-16, 1-125th, mirror lifted
3. Canon MT-26EX-RT macro twin lite flash
4. Hahnel Captur remote shutter release kit
5. Manfrotto carbon fibre & magnesium tripod
6. Manfrotto 410 junior geared tripod head
7. Manfrotto photo variable friction arm with quick release plate
8. Manfrotto micro-positioning sliding plate
9. Plenty of coffee
