#307 Labyrinth

2009.11.03




[Chrysolina americana - Rosemary beetle. Valdmorillo - Madrid]

I found these two cute beetles asleep after make "their things" in a lavender flower and I took them to my house for a quick photo sitting.

I was looking for a good background and surface, because I wanted to make their beautiful colours enhance. But they ran really fast!! Finally, I put them in the labyrinth where they only could run in circles.

Jarvo Fabulous shots Ruth. Those little beetles are so cute and then you but them on an unusual background - brilliant. I saved number 2 as a fave.
Perhaps if you had a big enough labyrinth you could race them through it and take bets. :-)
