It's a Yellow World, Pt. 3 - _TNY_4655
This common leaf weevil (Phyllobius pyri) had chosen not a leaf, but the super-yellow flower on a dandelion (Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia). Fortunately for me, it tried the old stay-still-to-avoid-detection scheme which worked out just fine for me.
Part 1 of this one is a focus stacked shot of the same specimen shot at 3.7:1 mag using the MP-E65mm - go here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/49961964922/
Part 2 is a single shot at 3:1 and can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50066055812/
