Another filler for yesterday. This was taken in Blueridge, GA. I believe that it is a Green Stink Bug. It didn't really smell. But, I thought he was kind of cute in a buggy kind of way.

great macro details, it's definitely a bug - and those bugs stink if you attack them

@shannew Thanks Shanne - that makes sense about the stink. Luckily he didn't feel attacked when I was shooting him :)

[cheryl]

I don't think I have ever seen a green one. Cool. Great macro!

[Thom Mitchell]

@espyetta Yep. A friend of MaryBeth's! ;)

[Jane]

Never seen anything like this... its a fascinating shot ♥

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Ha- I thought it was a leaf!!

[Margaret Tryon]

LOL, it is very cute in a buggish kind of way. I think you have to disturb them before they stink. Love this shot.

[Tara]

@rhoing Yes, but I only shoot "cute" bugs :)

[Tara]

@aromatic Thanks Jane!
@olivetreeann Funny, the name I saved the shot before I found out his real name was green leaf bug.

[Tara]

@cheribug Thanks Cheryl!

[Ann H. LeFevre]
