This beautiful blue longhorn beetle was a litle battle-worn, with only half of one antennae, and part of his back leg missing, but he was such a gorgeous colour I couln't resist showing him to you. He was a tiny chappie, barely as big as my little finger nail.

A vote for V3, for the detail on the wings and the fact that we are looking with the bug into its private world.

Some really good images of this little guy - the broken antenna gives character I think. Nicely focused on each, and superb bokeh.

Wink was a bit early when I wrote this - maybe it should have read "nicely exposed set of images" but who knows as the editor even I cant rememberSad dont remember seeing V3, great work Carol
