Stephen,

Good job!
So I see you've discovered the difficulty of taking close up photos (and keeping them focused) with your camera. There is definitely an art to it!

A few corrections -- it's beetles not Beatles (although they wrote some great songs!). And did you know there are approximately 350,000 species of beetles on Earth, and probably millions more yet to be discovered. Beetles account for about 25% of all known life forms on the planet!

Also it's hard to tell from your photo, but I don't think your woody stem is a woody stem. Let's find a more obvious one.

Good job.
