Buggers! — SteemCN

The first shot is a macro of a Stink bug (I think).

I am far from being an insect expert, so I always confuse Stink bugs with Shield bugs. They look the same to me.

Always great subjects for macro photography though.

This second one is a a lot easier to identify.

A Praying Mantis that I spotted hiding in the grass during one of our walks.

I didn't have my macro lens with me in this occasion.
I had my trusty Helios instead.

Not the sharpest and the bokeh is not that interesting either.
I mainly kept this image for the Mantis pose. She was ready to tear me apart if she could. Brave little thing.
