A Salad Bug?

silversx80

The wife and I get a delivery of produce every week from a local farm (it's cheaper, fresher and tastes better than anything in the supermarket). They tout themselves as more of an organic farm, so we get a collection of bugs along with the collection of produce. The wife thinks it's gross... I think it's an opportunity

Found today in some of the leafy greens was this little guy. For the record, I took it outside to live a full and productive bug's life.

All with the Oly E-620 @ ISO 100, 1/80s shutter speed, 35mm Macro @ 1:1 and f/16 and remote flash.

Good ones - don't think that would have been very tasty.

Thanks Brian! I don't imagine it would be very tasty at all...

Great photos!

I shot some of these at our local garden patch last year. I love the "diamond studded" look of their shells. BTW - they become really colorful a bit later on in the summer.
