Capsid on Crocosmia

There are a few of these Iris plants growing wild around us, and we have a few in the garden. They only seem to be in two colours, oranges and reds. Which is great when capsids land on them.

Here is an orange Crocosmia (some may call them Montbretia) and the capsid is on the trumpet of the flower with the open petals behind it.

The colour contrast is vivid and really lets you see the green of the bug.

Natural light, no flash, with the Sigma 105 and 3 extension tubes.

C&C as always.
