STOPS ALONG THE WAY

LONG-HORNED BEETLE (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

by 23 Comments

Here are two more examples of insects I have taken with a telephoto lens, I had to do a fair amount of cropping but retained the detail in the images.
I was never a great fan of insects in the past. But since encountering them out in the field, I can appreciate their beauty, fearlessness and the important role they play in nature.

    I feel the same way. The more you look the more interesting they become.
    Love that first composition!

    Your photos have shown me a different way of looking at insects. I’m finding them quite fascinating now.

    That first photo the beetle looks like the king of the mountain on that leaf. Incredible photos, Belinda, I’m glad you’ve taken an interest in the insects.
