LOL, I was going to say, HEY that's a Potato Beetle LOL (The Irish contest got my head going) Great job

Do you think just a tiny bit of burn along the lower edge of the shell on the beetle might help with the depth ?(or maybe just some contrast to pull out the shadows NOT A LOT, it's just in the thumbnail the white area of the shell looked very flat. (Your high res is wonderful, but I'm just thinking of the overall feel, and the white area is a bit stark IMHO)

Great job anyway GOOD LUCK!!!

its possible,
when working on a pic for a long time, the eyes start to get used and there are all ways small details that can be missed

There was some thought that went into this, putting all of those parts together. I really like the details that you've added, too, from the exhaust in the back to the tiny hairs on the legs. Excellent job!

Pretty hard work!..my fav!
