| Interesting beetle. I like the colors. What is the purple hue on the shell, the thistle? |

Very nice DOF and composition.
For IDs try bugguide.net, though for a beetley-type bug you can spend hours digging through all the families and tribes and whatnot so it may be better to join and post the picture and ask for an expert to ID it for you. If you're really that curious ;-) |

Really nice shot Marion - good crop and focus, with a thistle adding a nice dab of colour top left of picture and it looks like two more being reflected in the wing case boottom right of picture. Also the spikes of the Thistle nicely compliment his (her?) antennae and spiky legs.
Lovely feeling of depth as well as you look past him into the foliage.
Good shot. |

Marion when i saw this i first thought it was a cockroach
but i dont think it is now
i think you nailed it for sharpness and the bokeh background is great |
