Finally I managed to get more or less decent shots of Phyllopertha horticola and an ant.

They all look darn good to me.
More or less decent?
I'd say more.

Keep 'em coming.

Very nice Iris. I just love the ant!
The beetle is funny, and I know
they're hard to shoot because
they are fast moving all the time!

You did a great job!

Wow, Iris, the beetle and ant are beautiful. Well done.

These look very well done to me, Iris. The ant shot, particularly, strikes my fancy.

Friendly yes, competition not really

It's more a student, teacher relationship!
But thanks Jim for looking and commenting.
