Not sure what this little fellow is.
Liked the red dots and green eyes.

Nice contrast in colors and the subject isolation adds to this image.

Hi

I cant help with the ID, but this is indeed a very nice image of him. I like the simple surround, and you have good DOF considering this appears to be a very small subject - a nice capture

All the best
Matthew

Fine colors and composition. It's a beetle - you should be able to find the genus at least after a visit to bugguide.net.

It looks like a Kidney-Spot Ladybird?
