This little sap beetle was was trapped inside my office window just now. I put it on a leaf outside and snapped a quick photo before it flew off.
As Glischrochilus is among the shiniest of beetles, diffusing the flash properly when photographing it is more important than for most insects. I used my standard double-layer tent diffuser, as here.
photo details:
Canon MP-E 65mm 1-5x macro lens on a Canon EOS 7D
ISO 100, f/13, 1/250 sec
Partying, partying , partying partying , fun, fun, fun, fun, looking forward to drowning in Rebecca Black’s kiddie cup!
There were supposed to be interjections of cheezy “yeah!”s in between…idk what even happened there.
