No, that's a berry on an asparagus plant. Good question. The bug was about the same size as a ladybug.

Yeah, thanks ... I just saw the asparagus on your other thread. I like the close-ups, sooo close! Makes you realize there's this whole other miniscule world we seldom think about.

This is a project i worked on for school. i have quite a few pictures on there if people are interested (i worked hard to build the site and capture the bugs with what i had).

Bugs are creepy, cool, and kind of a mystery. overall they need to back off our gardens :P

Thanks!
Sorry for the delay, I haven't been checking this forum as much lately. It's my husband's camera, just a small digital. It's a Pentax Optio, 6.0 megapixels. It has a lot of features, but is also really easy to use. (My only gripe about it is it's reallllly hard to get the battery out to recharge!) It's no special lens, just whatever was built in. I set it on macro for the bug shots, and that's all there is to it.
