Wow! What a bizarre looking bug.

First shot is my favourite here - you can see the whole bug and there are no leaves in the way. Nice bright light and DOF.

Very sharp and clear pics there, and the bug sure looks colourful.. this is how wonderful a small small world can look like

Would you happen to know how the Sigma 150mm Macro is comparing to the Sigma 180 Macro ?
