This little guy caught my attention while taking the picture. I adjusted the composition for the rule of thirds. Overcast skies made a perfect overall situation for photographing flowers. Taken with 60mm macro lens at f 6.3, 1/160 sec, ISO 400, cloudy WB. Comments appreciated.

Thanks,
Anand

Unusual guy for sure, no idea what it is, good shot though and nicely seen.

Nice shot. Looks like a ladybird larva maybe.

Nice insect detail and light - like Dave, I think it's a ladybird beetle larva.

Hi

A fun shot of this little chap - ladybird would be my guess as well - perhaps a little more DOF would have helped the perch out a tad

All the best
Matthew
