I liked the yellow against the green
and then the bug flew in, so I decided
to include it.

  Great image Kathleen, I couldn't agree with you more, the image without the bug is wonderful but you can't beat a little more. Great detail and composition.

  Your becoming a queen of macro, Kathy! Yellow and green is a great combo and the bokeh is superb! Needless to say the sharpness and clarity of the bug are excellent!
