You did very well to get this without your macro, John. I like the comp and pose of the beetle looking into the empty space. I appreciate the ID as I have a couple images of these from this summer, and I did not know what they were.

Very good close macro. And to get most insects with their antennae not blurred is an accomplishment.

I like these Soldier Beeetles. . . they often seem to strike such interesting poses, such as you have captured here. I like his perch also and all the pollen covering him. Good comp and glad you allowed space for him to stare into space. I'd say you did very well on this capture without your macro, John.

This must be the scout searching for sign of the enemy. Nice capture with the long lens.
