Another textbook image, Fabio. Perfect comp, DOF, BG, etc. The orange bugs contrast exceptionally well from the green surrounding. No nits...

This is fantastic, Mauro! I always love the details in your shots along with a nice diffused background. Coloring and comp is wonderful. I just recently got a 180mm macro lens; looking forward to using it in the spring on flowers and insects.

This is great Fabio, nice color contrast between the orange of the bugs and the green of the perch and the background, great detail and nice background.
