Flatheaded woodborer

This was one of my first insect macro photos, I remember the excitement of discovery when I found this Flatheaded woodborer and thinking that this must be very commonly found on this area, but never seen another one since! I guess I was lucky ^_^

Looks like you'll soon have your one year macro anniversary. There's no way back now. Posted 3 years ago

  Indeed Ferdy, this past year has been a real tranformative one. I don't know if I found macro photography or if it found me, but all I know is that has been an awesome journey :-) Posted 3 years ago
