Black Beetle Close-Up


I wanted to crop this beetle to 1024 x 1024 so you could get a better look at this lovely fellow! One of the things I'm so happy about is that black insects are not easy to photograph. The details are usually lost or totally blown out where the sun reflects. But in this case, the sun was diffused by an overcast sky and it was hitting him at just the right angle, and he's properly exposed! HAPPY DAY!!! *snoopy dance*
