Nice capture. It takes a good eye to spot a shot like this.

Great shot. Looks like the bug is walking on the edge of a saw blade. The bug against the black background sets it's unusual color off very well.

So that's what a weevil is! I found a black one on my sweater last summer when I was out for a walk, it nearly frightened me to death (I hate bugs if they're on me but I like to photograph them). Very good colours.

Note to self - got to find bugs - they make macro shots so much more interesting. I like how you used the green plant up in the right hand corner to frame the shot.
