Comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking.

Actually, I think this is called a Big Wheel Bug.

    LOvely capture.
    Only suggestion is on composition - bug is a bit central in the frame and a slightly odd angle.

    Brian: Thanks for the suggestion. Still working on that...

    clicketf3: They are a bit bashful but they move very slowly so, eventually, an opportunity arises. Also, it's not uncommon to find them in groups (3-4).
