This is one of those asian beetles(?) that warm up sooner than lady bugs. I was trying to learn a little about how to do fill flash and found her. I had my glasses on and couldn't get the focus right.
Are there any kind people that have comments or tips to share?

We have them here too, the best thing is to get closer



This was fill flash, I wanted to get closer still, but she was moving around so much

Those things are every where out here. I get bit by more of those a year than mosquitos.

There are tons of these here too. I'm in Michigan. They bite...and the STINK. Smell worse than stink bugs.

Where you at in Michigan Heather? Here in Lansing they are not so bad, but they are all over my mother-in-laws house in the St. Louis/Alma area

They Bite? Hmm . . . I've let them crawl all over my hand and I've never felt a thing.

I was referring to the bug pictured above. It's not as if it hurts when they bite...almost feels just like a mosquito bite.

I'm in Ft. Wayne, IN for whoever was asking.
