I feel certain the bees might not be happy to see this bug working their territory. I hope there is enought to go around for everyone.

Haha, super details on the bug and flowers.

[Lou Ann]

Wowzy! By chance is that a stink bug?

[Marilyn Wigen]

I’m not a bug lover, but this is a great shot, anyway! Super details and great brick blur. Is that an Allium? I just ordered some for the “dead zone” under the evergreens in the side yard. I’m hoping to make it a little more curb appealing with some low maintenance plants.

[Diana]

Fabulous shot and wonderful dof.

[bruni]

You caught the stink bug quite nicely. I would stay away if I were a bee, but hunger makes you feel different about it, I'm sure.

[Lin]

So well captured! The dof is perfect.

[Kathy]

Nice close up of the flowers and insect.

[Cazzi]

I'm not sure if he's a friendly fella or not but I do like the detail you've captured and he looks quite smart with that orange outline on him.

[Leslie]

looks like he's waving hi

@dutchothotmailcom @louannwarren @marilyn @ludwigsdiana @bruni @linnypinny @randystreat @serendypyty @lesip LOL! I am so glad you all like my little bug. Several asked if it was a stink bug and it is not. It is a box elder bug according to google adn he is on my society garlic in the front of my house. It turned out better than I expected so thank you for all your kind comments.

@marilyn I thought this was from the allium family but apparently it is not.alliums neet lots of sun so they may not do well on that side of the house.

[Mary Siegle]

Possession is nine tenths of the law. It’s the bug’s territory now. Huh! I thought garlic and allium were from the same family. But I’m not a gardener, so lots of stuff I don’t know.

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn I guess we’ll find out. 🤷‍♀️ It’s the south side, but there are quite a few trees.

[Diane]

Nice detail and focus.

@eudora you are too kind thanks
