Wow Mark - what a great find. Good spotting.
Great captures and sharp as (oh no - another lens to consider - oh woe is me)
. Lovely bright colours.
So what type of beetle is it??
Cheers, Mick

Wonderful shot, as already said well spotted.
For me number three is the standout
Keep them coming.

Fantastic shots.
The macro/insect shots you guys have been posting just shows the diversity of a world we often don't pay attention to (except to maybe spray out of existence)

Mark, these are absolutely brilliant. My pick is also the 3rd. The 3rd with the 5 bracketed shots and HDR has more even lighting than the 2nd, which I guess is the effect you wanted. I haven't bothered barcketing and HDRing yet, but after seeing your results I'll give it a go. I can't remember if the D200 does 5 shots in a bracket automatically. If you'd been changing exposure time each shot manually you must have worked fast to stop the little critter moving.
Cheers

Wowsa!! These are awesome, hadn't consider HDR in macro photography but I guess it makes a bit of sense. May I ask which lens you were using ?

Oscar, As Colin stated, it is a harlequin bug.

Great stuff, Mark - the colours are great, a fascinating subject, and I love the soft background. I especially like the 3rd image.
