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 very pretty creature in spite of disabilities, such a lovely colour. Three nice portraits.
Such a tiny, handicapped, blue long horn well exposed Carol.
Raja.
Impressive use of your camera
He really is a handsome lad .. albeit a trifle worn
And like you I love his colours
A first class set of close ups Carol, he certainly is a beautifully coloured little critter
A vote for V3, for the detail on the wings and the fact that we are looking with the bug into its private world.
Moira
Wonderful photography Carol, I love the colour also, wonder if he gets a war pension.
Regards
Trev.
Been in the wars for sure but they seem to be very resilient all fine detailed capture as is your norm Carol so three votes
Graham
Yes, certainly worth the captures, Carol, despite his disabilities! 
Amazing to think of him being as small as you describe - and an amazing set as we've come to expect from you 
Take care,
Trev
wonderful set of shots i don't have a particular favourite because they're all great in there own right !!
Good set again Carol, oh how I wish we had some critters like that over here
Geoff.
Some really good images of this little guy - the broken antenna gives character I think. Nicely focused on each, and superb bokeh.
Anne
Yet it gave a patient pose for U,for a beautiful upload.
Quote: Beautiful and nicely set of images,very well done,saeid
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 remember
dont remember seeing V3, great work Carol
