2007-11-05 Brown Paropsine Beetle

Nyssa says: I really like these beetles (and other leaf beetles). They're actually quite cute, like the ladybird beetle. And I now know that when these guys get scared, they hide their antennae and legs. Cute! I'd even be brave enough to let one of these walk on my arm or something. :>

  • It's really hard to take an interesting macro, most are just photos of interesting subjects, yours are truly interesting Nyssa.
