shield-bug macros #319
A few macros from this Summer shoot. All of this macro set dedicated to the same one subject: a little bug named shield bug, if I am not mistaken.

![IMG_1836w2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTU8oAn1EUh2jk14KLFYGtCsgPLMLnydb1BYjwnMsDeMC/IMG_1836w2.jpg)

They are very wide-spread. What is so amazing with it?

![IMG_1836w1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/EpJbTumkcHt6TLenRQwRxNvFbR85U4XuJrJrgZVdj14GBebfDJ5sSLeDKyCyVi7De2Q.jpg)

I have encountered them a few times, and they look quite different (the shell was more dark and less fancy). That was cause I met a matured edition of a shield bug. 

![IMG_1838w1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT9wBp2CWySgDXNNxnuFQAaTcxWjR1ZkbYJgPfmVg28qx/IMG_1838w1.jpg)

As they grow, they have to change their shell... and they do it pretty often! After this process have finished, the bug just sit quitely somewhere in a hideous spot, and waiting till his new coat will harden. The new coat of a bug shield is soft and bright and very picturesque -- and I guess, the bug I met this time, was exactly this certain case.

![IMG_1838w2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZT47Z9YE7X39F8MoXdYWuSSk9YMX86fSrMxAdnLt43rv/IMG_1838w2.jpg)

When I have read about it somewhere (which happened a while after I processed those photos!) I was fascinated, as I understood what I have seen with my own eyes... but have no proper understanding at the moment.

![IMG_1840w.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/EoH1oD6y9zEdi8KkCVUBvyAK7Jh2eiKWtyHUTv3r1xrfsXMeBaDeeTsVBjm7TkP5zEG.jpg)

The bug was in no rush, he didnt run away from me. He was just sitting there, hardening his shield.... good boy! and he showed me his shadow!


![IMG_1842w.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/23viA6vrc7igc3xTTHNSvAeigMhS5gh3gGLxG7cNoFZWLA3qnewZnkVFPWxusKX3HqzvY.jpg)

And then we changed our position 20 cm right, to the mossy part of the bench.

Handsome guy! isnt he?


I guess this is the older, matured version of the same shieldbug specie:

@qwerrie · 
thank you! yes, those are nice ones -- I was lucky cause this bug decided to hide after the molting, right infront of me on a bench... on the top of it, it was  a magic hour, the bench was well-lit with sun beams! all this brought me those pics.
