So I was trying to nail the focus on this male waterliliy reed beetle (Donacia crassipes) on a lily pad in spite of it bouncing up and down on the water (even small waves become an issue when shooting at the macro scale).
Anyways, to my surprise he must have felt an itch on his back or something, because he somehow pulled back both hind legs and sort of scratched on the elytra with them. No real idea why, but hey - I got him in focus!
