I have seen orange and black beetles in my garden, and even taken macro photos of them as well (ditto on the neighbors probably used to our strange behavior) but hey were tiny and not so fanciful.Laumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311615016374555526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3837955033598560092.post-76983412841878390622009-09-01T12:12:11.849-06:002009-09-01T12:12:11.849-06:00I love taking pictures of bugs.

I had to crop out most of the photo as I cannot get that close to the tiny subject with my existing lens....
