 The cleome draw these beautiful little stink bugs. They're a little shy, but their movements can be anticipated fairly well. One of the nymphs is above and left of the mature bug. Not much processing: usm, levels, bright & contrast.
One of the my best shots ever with the old manual SMC-M 50mm f1.7 and extension tubes.

Nice shot. I like the M series lenses, they're built like a tank.

I suppose it's fitting that our little stinkers finished together. It's great that you also have a teeny tiny little stinker in your shot too.

This is cool, if it wasn't for the reflections on his back I'd give it a 7 or 8. But now it's a 6, it's a really good photo. Is the tiny fella his dinner?

Nice and sharp - compositionally needs some work - the blur top left is also distracting
