		I took this shot during the Macro III challenge, but never got around to entering it.

 I think the only cropping I did was for composition. Not much. I cut some off the top and a little off the left so the beetle wouldn't seem so centerd. The 180mm Macro will shoot 1:1. This is close to that.

 That creature is a Leaf-footed Beetle standing on the unopened bud of a Trumpet Creeper flower.

 So, like many others, you didn't enter the challenge! Well, bring on the next Macro challenge. A good shot, worthy of 7 at least.
