Three Milkweed Bug Instars

Different stages in their lives.

I guess I had forgotten that in order to get really close with the RX10iv I have to zoom all the way to the equivalent of 600mm, or zoom out to 24mm and move the camera really close to the subject.

I didn't know that there were small and large milkweed bugs. I learned a lot about them here: https://thebuginator.com/milkweed-bugs/

Great shot of these Large Milkweed Bugs, nice and crisply focused, and fun to get an assortment of life stages. V
