I always find their shape funny when I see them in our garden, Karen. Looked it up, and it's called a 'Green Stink Bug' or 'Acroternum hilare' (if I'm not mistaken).
GREAT pov, greens and capture! :) #714113

Ernest S. Pile level-deluxe November 10, 2007

Karen,

A great shot! I have one question. How in the world did you get the little guy to sit still without "flitting" away!

I am also happy to see real life results with the Sigma 150. I've been trying to decide where best to put my money - on the Sigma 150 or the Nikon 105. This could tip the balance.

Congrats!!! Ernest #5053702
