I spotted a few baby shield bugs recently, hiding in the seed-heads of wild sage. Most of them looked like replicas of their parents, but a few I spotted were like litte fluff-balls Smile This fella was tiny, about half the size of my little finger nail, so I was lucky to see him, let alone capture him on camera.

Three cracking shots Carol, I do have to question your title, truly, beauty must be in the eye of the beholder!

Your closeup work never ceases to amaze me, it's a whole different world!

Keep up the Stirling work!

Given the tiny size you did well to spot him in the first place and then capture such detail thereafter, Carol.
