Found at the Samford Swimming pool yesterday during Aleks' swimming lesson. This is a reversed kit lens shot, thus the very very narrow DoF and not fantastic image quality. Luckily my model was already deceased and thus didn't move while shooting.
Approx. size of beetle, 1cm long, 5mm wide.

Came out nice, and the bokeh on the rear carapace looks great.
heheh nice and fun... sees a lot more than my poor old eyes.
Great colours for a dead bug :)
so you didnt attempt the kiss of life then.....
Lovely little circles of light on its body. Using the shorter end of the zoom?
Ooh...such a shiny beetle. Must come from a royal bloodline in the insect kingdome.
I am so envious, you guys get great bugs. I just get moss and fungus.
