Leaf & beetle - stack
The leaf beetle again (one of the many Chrysomelidae sp. I think) - from the front. I liked the curve of the gum leaf which echos the shape of its body. It won't keep still though - look at the double antenna on the lower side.
It about 7mm in diameter and about 4mm high. Looks like a leaf gall. My photostream has two more views.
Tamron 90 @ f11, 1/125s on 50mm extension tubes at closest focus. Sidelit diffused flash at 1/8 power. Stack of 14.
