Not pristine any more....

But the bugs were very cute...

[Joan Robillard]

ROFL don't believe I have heard someone say that about bugs that ate the heck out of plants.

[Dione Giorgio]

I don't mind the bugs on one condition - that they do not eat up all the leaves of my plants. And since that is impossible I don't like bugs.

[Babs]

The bugs have had a real feast here haven't they. Must taste good.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Poor little leaf. Why can't bugs learn to eat grass... just the top half of each piece as it gets too tall....

[Peter H]

Great detail.

[Casablanca]

Perhaps it is a winged lacemaker.......!!!!

[Lesley]

Oh dear! Amazing focus on the leaf.

[Jacqueline]

Great focus, never heard someone call bugs very cute;)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

very hungry caterpillar ...

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Looks like the buffet was open and everyone had their fill! Excellent detail.

[Jane Pittenger]

Lol

[Marnie]

Oh dear, bug buffet.

[Louise]

The bugs are not getting much love in the comments here... poor little guys, I love them! They have to eat too - and they gave you a photo for today!

[Shutterbug]

Love the light on the leaf. But I hope they left some leaf to grow.

[Granagringa]

wonderful DoF and really like the edge of the leaf and then seeing it broader.

[Rob Z]

@sangwann Lol Dione - some of the bugs are really cute though and these were really big leaves!! :)

[Rob Z]

@lyndemc I like your idea of a well trained bug crew slowly mowing the lawn!! I think this could be a money maker! Thanks for your interest and intriguing comment. :)

[Rob Z]

@casablanca Lol - I didn't know what they were but I think you may have just named them.... :)

[Rob Z]

@jacqbb Lol - but they are Jacqueline - I'll post another cutie later tonight... he might be able to change your mind.... :)

[Rob Z]

@koalagardens Gosh - I wish I'd thought of that title!! :)

[Rob Z]

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann - my camera does seem to do some close-ups quite well. It makes up for a lot of things it can't do... :)

[Rob Z]

@roachling Have to agree with you Louise - we get so many different ones and they don't really cause a problem - except for the Dendrobium beetles which can kill my orchids - unfortunately they get squashed! :)

[Rob Z]

@shutterbug49 Thanks for your nice comment Shutterbug - we have lots of leaves so they don't really cause a problem - and they are cute. :)

[Rob Z]

@granagringa Thanks for your kind comment Granagringa - my camera and I have reached an uneasy truce!! :)

[Rob Z]

@joansmor Thanks for your comment Joan - but I could I be dumb and ask what ROFL stands for? Cheers Rob

[kali]

hi Rob, how about doing a stilllife or environmental portrait with a masculine theme

[Joan Robillard]

@robz Rolling On the Floor Laughing

[Rob Z]

@kali66 Hmm - that sound interesting! I'll give it a go - but it may be a big epic fail?.... Cheers Rob

[Rob Z]

@joansmor Lol - that's great!!

[kali]

@robz tools, vehicles, menswear, ...
processing gritty/low-key...ideas aplenty hopefully

[Rob Z]

@kali66 Thanks for the suggestions! It sounds like the garage is a good spot to start...Cheers Rob
