True Bugs

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted May 29, 2012106 views5 comments
Close-up photo of True Bugs (Heteroptera). Heteroptera is a group of about 40,000 species of insects in the Hemiptera. Sometimes called "true bugs", that name more commonly refers to Hemiptera as a whole, and "typical bugs" might be used as a more unequivocal alternative since among the Hemiptera the heteropterans are most consistently and universally termed "bugs".
Photo taken in summer in Northern Switzeland.
Nikon D700

I really like how the coloring of these bugs makes them stand out against the great background. Even though it would have been nice to have the bugs facing the camera and all in focus, you did a great job of photographing them in their natural environment on a nice perch with good focus on the front of the bugs. Nice shot, Miro!
