Red Bug on Poinsettia

Found this red bug, see, and decided to place it on the Poinsettia leaf for the sake of a pretty image. Note the transparent wings and the blue dots on its back!

In the Creature Feature photo essay.

    Hey Dennis, one antenna seems shorter than the other. Beautiful shot.

    yeah, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the bug had expired, allowing me to get it to cooperate fully as juliana noted. I was hoping no one would notice the broken antennae. yeah, right!

    Did you have to twist his little antennae off to get him to cooperate?
    Sometimes expired bugs can be the best models, no? The leaf edge and depth on the lower right make this shot for me. Very nice.

    thanks for the kind words, Judy, Jeffrey, and Robin. One great resource for cooperative bug models are uncovered pools although, that's not where i found this one.

    This is great. You have a Scarlet Wasp Moth here, I believe. Love those windowpane wings!
