Pyralis Firefly

I can no longer just look at a bug and think, "That's interesting". Now I think, "I wonder how Marybeth would shoot this?"

@espyetta Thought of you when I discovered this little guy climbing up the tree I was going for a texture shot on.

[Taffy]

So funny -- I have the same thoughts!! MaryBeth would be proud!

I don't live where there are fireflies so when i visit a place with them I want to stay up all night watching them

Beautiful colors, lovely mix of clarity and blur...Just right! :)

@taffy @pandorasecho @daisymiller @kerristephens @susale @digitalrn @nicolecampbell @salza @wenbow @cortens

Thank you all! Although he's pretty tiny, this shot does make him look quite large. Hooray for macros!

[Diane]

Excellent closeup and DOF.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@eudora Thanks Diane!

[Alexandra DG]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@axika Thank you Alexandra!

[Bev]

Excellent shot, Ann! Very good detail and very cool you knew the type of bug! You are a brave woman to take shots of insects!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! Nothing to be brave about here- they are much like Ladybugs and very harmless. And I don't usually know beforehand- I usually look it up after I've photographed it!

[Konstantin]
