Nice clear shot on the white bg - it looks a tad dead to me

It's dead for sure, it sneaked back to the uk in my dads laundry last time he was playing in the jungle somewhere!

Unusual shot - I'd not have thought of this.

Well, it ain't Paul - not with that nose - maybe Ringo?

Good one Graham, just as well its not moving its a nasty looking thing.

Actually this is easily the best looking of the Beatles <g>

Very nice focusing and lighting, just the highlight on the wing cover and the little 'crease' in it. As it was dead, I am sure it wouldn't have been too disrespectful to get the iron ut.... or whatever one uses to flatten out a beetle's wing cover!

Lovely shot though

Cheers,
Rob

That's one big beetle!
Good shot - interesting composition and great detail in that wing
