IMG_6701 Personality

One of my favorite all time bug pictures!
Got this info from the bugguide.net:
"This appears to be an Oriental chafer, Anomala orientalis, an introduced pest species. Certainly something in the same genus at any rate.

Here's the same bug from another angle, captured with Sony 717:

LOL! Very cute. I'm glad you figured out the code. It's nice to see both pictures together.

How cute is that, a bug with antlers? Nice macro with your A610.
