Posted by ed at July 19, 2004 08:20 AMGreat colors and impressive clarity. Not easy when handholding the canera for a macro! Very nice!
What a nice flick! I didn't know buttered popcorn grew as flowers. I think the Hot Tamale is enjoying the opportunity to watch us.

Looks like a Blister Beetle (Meloidae) on Yarrow (Achillia millefolium)...
I LOVE shots of insects on flowers, it's amazing how beautiful they are if you can put aside your squeamishness, they're such jewels. Thanks, you've made my morning.

Posted by jevaun at July 20, 2004 08:41 PMExciting find, and an interesting, non-cliché composition. But the contrast is a little dull to my eyes - everything is a little bit grey somehow...
