Hairy Shieldbug (Dolycoris Baccarum)

It is a matter of taste. I like the way this is lit. But I do understand the reflections for example on the leaf does not please all.

So, in my opinion the light does not need to look "natural". Getting rid of hard shadows is a value itself ;-)

Thanks for taking the trouble to comment again Sami. It's always good to get another opinion :-)

I think these are both males...........so a duel is the most likely :-) Thanks for dropping in Jean Paul. Always appreciated.

Just seen these in our garden. We have seen many different shieldbugs before are unsure about these…. Perhaps we have never taken as close a look.
