The beetles I have a hobby interest in are of the family Buprestidae, good excuse to get out in nature and relax. Photography is a part of this as well as other hobbies.
I've been fascinated with entomology since I was a child, but never considered pursuing it academically. I just dig bugs. I'm looking forward to more pics of insects from you, sir!

Leaping Lizards -- but they are some HUGE bugs !!! That's a very nice reflection of you over the bugs -- I can't help myself...I must say this..."Hey, Robert, what's bugging you?".......lol......(sorry -- I just had to make this joke)
Cool self-portrait. There are so many amazing beetles out there. I image-searched Buprestidae...they're gorgeous.
