It's cool how these bugs look like leaves. They sound like they smell terrible! The clarity of this image is very nice with great sharp detail throughout. The plant is interesting looking too.

I like the way it looks!

Comment from nikman
Initially thought the green things were leaves! Your fine composition gives us a reasonable look at them and their location. Pretty sure they do not live in England. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Who says small is beautiful? I have come across these types of green stink bugs in India too and they do leave a lasting impression!:) Good observation! Good shot of nature. Thanks for sharing!

A very nice shot. The artichoke makes a very nice background and the bug is well camouflaged in it. Great composition and appealing colors.

Comment from Charlie Newman
First off, thanks for the information re: the stink bugs. We have them here and they certainly can STINK!
The focus in your photo is nice and sharp, clearly showing off the bugs against the background. Details, colors, contrast all are well done.

Comment from Lorafina
It ti me awhile to figure out that the green things are the sink bugs! I thought they were some kind of leaf! But even when I was being bug-challenged I appreciated the photo almost as abstract at. I like the colors and the texture of the dried out artichoke in contrast to the two green shadows (the bugs, right?). I like the silloutte of the plant against the dark background, and the shadows.
