1. i hope that's not as big as it looks

I think it is a fine looking critter, though.

5. It was about 3" long and I took the shot from about 6" away. The

camera was set on Super Macro. It didn't seem to mind to much so I indulged it with a photo op. hehehehe:rofl:

I'm happy he was so cooperative.

more pictures that will fit that bill (I think).

11. You mean like this guy...

13. We just don't see these sorts of things up here....

...and I can't say that I'm particularly sorry. I must make a confession here. When I was 8-12, living in Colorado, I used to take these things (the grasshoppers) and pull their legs off one by one, stick them with pins, and then bury them with little crosses over their graves. A latent serial killer perhaps? (At least I gave them a Christian burial.)

[Immad2]

14. Blue_In_AK a latent serial killer? Not a chance! Anyone who produces such

beautiful photos can't be a latent serial killer. Besides, like you say you gave them a proper burial.
Congratulations on your smugmug Gallery!!:toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :woohoo: :applause:

I love insect shots. You did a good job with both shots.
