I've always been terrified with these green scarab beetles as a kid, primarily due to how feisty and strong they are. I can't say for sure if that fear still lingers after having shot it this intimately. But I sure respect these beetles more than ever.

Found this one on our window screen again. I had to handle it carefully and place it in a controlled photography environment. After several shots, I brought it back unscathed to where I found it.

Shot last May 22 with a Sony A7RII + Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS (with 26mm extension tubes) @ 1/160 sec., f/8, and ISO 250.
