Lost Beetle

_MG_4586 - Beetle - Scouting

It came crashing onto my keyboard... in the wee hours of the morning. i was going through the many pics i took at chinatown last weekend with my girlfriend.

Dazed and disorientated, it tuck its feeble wings, steadied itself and started to explore its surroundings.


Between lazily ignoring it and hardworkingly setting up my macro gear, i chose the latter after overcoming some lazy inertia : P

And glad i did!!

_MG_4564 - Beetle - Holding On

_MG_4567 - Beetle - Cliff Hanger

_MG_4573 - Beetle - Looking

It was calm (maybe in shock after my heavy flashes?!) and allowed me several shots before spreading its wings and took off...
