I always find their shape funny when I see them in our garden, Karen. Looked it up, and it's called a 'Green Stink Bug' or 'Acroternum hilare' (if I'm not mistaken).Karen Engelbreth August 14, 2007
Thank you for the great comment, Jenny.John R. Sanchez August 14, 2007

Congrats on your POTD. Wonderful shot. #5053686Ernest S. Pile November 10, 2007
Karen,A great shot! I have one question. How in the world did you get the little guy to sit still without "flitting" away!
I am also happy to see real life results with the Sigma 150. I've been trying to decide where best to put my money - on the Sigma 150 or the Nikon 105. This could tip the balance.
Congrats!!! Ernest #5053702
