The last image if this season, I promise! I've found many Harmonia axyridis beetles 2 days ago in a relatively warm evening. This specimen stayed still for quite a long time.
75 natural light exposures, around f5.0, ISO 400, made with Sony A6000, reversed Schneider-Kreuznach APO-Componon HM 60/4 lens on Nikon PB-5 bellows.
Exposure time varied between 2.4-4 seconds!

A peculiar beetle (as it seems to me) with "bald" head that I've found in August 2013. A rarity around here, I'm definitely happy for finding it.

This is a closer view of another Zygaena filipendulae moth photographed a couple of days later. The lens used for this stack - Schneider-Kreuznach APO-Componon HM 60/4 creates a very good impression here!
