So amazing dear Joggie, its like a golden shield...is this beetle inclosed, or is the outside transparant?
Looks out of the world, the wasp so clear and excactly knowing what its doing...nature at its best:)

Hi Jen, thanks for the comment. The headshield (pronotum) and the body shield (elytra) of this beetle is extended well beyound the body, like the shell of a tortoise. In this case the Elytra and Pronotum is transparent while the body underneath carries the shiny gold colour. Regards.

Fascinating transparency to the Beetle. It is genius to show this creature with its predator in such a beautiful fashion. Thanks for the knowledgeable explanation!

Hi Avi, it was about 10cm with my setup at a magnification ratio of roughly 1.8 times lifesize. The high magnification ratio & low light conditions forced a shallow depth of field. I have other shots of the same beetle taken with the ringlash but the attractive reflections of the beetle do not appears as natural as here. Regards.
