Tortoise Beetle – by Gordon Zammit

Gordon has again sent in some excellent photographs, this time of a Tortoise Beetle.  This is the first beetle of this type Gordon has taken, having found it on his car door!  The photographs were taken indoors.  Here are Gordon’s images, including some of the beetle with it’s wings open for flight.

For more of Gordon’s photographic works see his National Geographic site and Flickr Account.
