Thank you! I took this picture during a walk in the woods. In a shadowy area among the trees I saw this huge, beautiful calla lily. The few sunbeams that filtered through the trees created a "spotted" light, and the holes in the petals and the irregular perimeter made it unique. After a first shot the insect arrived, inviting me to shoot again. So here's the picture! Canon 5DMII + 24-105mm @105mm 1/320sec f/11
