Black and yellow tortoise beetle | Chocó rainforest, Ecuador

Black and yellow tortoise beetle on a young fern leaf. To me, this beetle looks like a jewel. It is quite slow but can fly to escape

Beautiful image, Thomas! You have a wonderful way of showing insects in a natural setting that makes it all look so beautiful and appealing.

Thanks Chris ! That's a great compliment ! I appreciate it :)

Superb image Thomas, love the balance and composition all round.

Thank you very much Alan ! Yes, nothing to fancy here. It reminds me some old still life paintings :D
