handheld macro. have no clue what type of beetle this is, as i have never seen this specimen before. he just happened to fly up and light on the weed i was getting ready to shoot.
Not really a beetle, but a true bug (assasin bug); and a really cool one, at that. Great eye for spotting and capturing such a good shot of it! Never seen one with those markings. Think I'll put him in my favorites.
Here's a link to it's ID: //bugguide.net/node/view/166/bgpage
The upper edge, and the leg behind that, are just out of focus enough and light colored enough to distract my eyes; nevertheless, a marvelous photo. I love the "gradation" in color in the background, it's very effective.
