The bug

This very cute little bug was lurking around the passionfruit vine the other day - not sure if him and his mates are the culprits for killing off our magnificent vine that was loaded with fruit…. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and photographed him instead of squishing him!

What a great shot.. I think if you had squished him you would of suffered as isn't he the 'stink' bug.. fav

Great macro Dianne, but you're too kind. I reckon all bugs should be presumed guilty until proved otherwise - especially on the passion-fruit!!
