This is a great photograph of the patent leather beetle shown very well on the green background of the leaf. The focus of his head and "feelers" seems a little off. Good luck in the contest.

A very interesting and unique visual presented here of this amazing bug. I don't want to meet it at any time. I like how you highlighted with the green background to bring interest to its black colouring . well done

A good looking image posted here into the competition together with fascinating notes. Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that shiny bug. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is a nice-looking close-up shot of the beetle. You have framed it well. The focus, clarity, light, and composition have worked well. Good luck!

This is an excellent photograph of the patent leather beetle. Awesome shot and angle, I like the overhead view to see all of the detail of the beetle. Overall excellent presentation, thank you for sharing
