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/

Sony RX10 IV
1/400s f/8.0 at 220.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

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

A really Wow image Isabel. The bugs are colorful and sharp and the setting is excellent as well. ~BV~
