Insects are tough to ID indeed.
I tried some Shield bugs from Korea the other day (I yet have to post them here).
It's so hard to find Infos on some. :/

I actually find it sometimes harder to catch insects with the big camera. For some reason they seem to have liked my P&S better :)

Thanks. I find dragonflies very challenging to photograph with my little camera. The thing I like most about this guy is that I could actually identify it! I usually struggle with insect I.D.s.
