Early Morning Visitor

Caught this smartly dressed visitor on my salvia this morning. Hope he's not a vegetarian or his visit may be cut short!

Beautiful shot....without sounding too silly my I ask if you used a macro?

[alia_801]

What a brightly coloured bug! Love his curly antenna too!

[Margaret Pengelly]

@simplysnapped No I don't think so- not sure what a macro is. I have a close up setting on my Coolpix P90 and patiently moved in took several shots until I got one that looked pretty well focussed and this is it!

@alia_801 Thanks for dropping by.

@ubobohobo Great work! as far as I know a marco lens is for taking pictures of things really close up and capturing all the detail....

What a cool closeup of a very colorful bug. I'm amazed at how neatly designed these little creatures are when viewed up close.

[Pyrrhula]

Wow, stunting colors Great capture of that awesome bug

[Naomi]

[Amanda Thepanda]

[Ginger Sanders]

Love those colors!

He's quite a dandy - could make short work of your salvia if he is veggie!
