Bag-in-Box Fan, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8734

Me and my son spent a couple of July days with my mother at her summer house in Värmdö Sweden and I made a chanterelle risotto for dinner. We decided to eat indoors and when I brought the risotto to the table, Daniel asked what it was that was sitting on the box of wine on the table.

To my great surprise, it was this musk beetle (Aromia moschata), the first I've managed to get photos of!

Unfortunately I had the MP-E65 on the camera which meant that shooting a 35 mm / 1.3" beetle which was constantly moving was a real challenge as the minimum magnification of the lens is 1:1 so on a fullframe camera, it will litterally fill the frame from side to side - as a minimum.

The solution was to put a glass on top of it there on the table, eat our dinner and then switch to the 100 mm lens before getting a couple of shots.

I was very pleased with it just walking and climbing and not flying away - which has been my previouse experience with this species so after the lens change, things were a lot easier.

Do zoom in - the metallic green and purple colours (plus blue antennae) on this one are gorgeous!
