Having a ball

but not for very much longer as I sprayed the roses afterwards.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful, anyway!

[Babs]

At least they died happy

[Brigette]

what a busy little bug - i like the spot

[Kathy A]

At least they had a bit of fun

[Brian]

Nice macro. A new bug for me

[Christina]

Wonderful capture

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh my, they're. huge! And make a lovely picture. But very destructive for your roses.

[Susan Wakely]

They look so nice tucked in there but for the good of your roses need to be eradicated.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So cosily tucked in there , but not good for your roses ! great shot - fav

[narayani]

Oh dear

[Peter]

Interesting little insects well captured and hopefully well sprayed Diana:)

[John Falconer]

Great shot. Its photo is now on the internet for ever!!

[katy]

Such a shame they are so destructive. They look kind of cute in the middle of this rose.

[Steve Chappell]

Great capture

[Allison Maltese]

How interesting, and also discouraging. The rose itself is very beautiful, so I hope they didn't eat much!

[winghong_ho]

Great capture. Fav.

[Mags]

I like those spots! Beautiful rose.

[Beverley]

Good shot! Every bug is here for a reason I guess? Not sure about the beetley bugs

[KV]

Snug as a bug in a rose? Not for long LOL! Beautiful rose.

[Christine Sztukowski]

[Bucktree]

Beautiful rose and capture of the bugs.

Neat detaiils

[Lisa Brown]

this is gorgeous. what a contrast. But I agree, poor roses could get chomped to bits if not take care of

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely!

[Corinne C]

Delightful capture

[Heather]
