I've caught a bug.....!

..and I don't know what it is :) I saw this lovely little bug with the sun on it and after seeing some of the brilliant photos of bugs on 365 I wondered if I could capture it, so I had a go - and I did. Looks best on black.

Great capture on a number of levels. Some sort of beetle but i don't know its name i am afraid. Fav

@koalagardens @bluerose15 @hermann @stiggle @terryliv @macbez @macbez @peterlgrave thank you all for the comments on my bug :) @flowerfairyann I am quite pleased with the shot, before joining 365 I would never have thought of trying to capture such like.

Cool beetle! I personally would have rotated the image so that he wasn't pointing downhill but still a good pic
