A very cool photo, especially how you used a human body

These are really cool bugs. I saw one eating a bee once. Super capture of him. And he's looking right at you. V.

Good ones to have around to control some of the less desired ones.

I've never seen one out here~ are they very big? V

One of my favourite insects. I have been seeing several lately including half a dozen in a small area. Great details.

A great closeup image!

Inga Morozoff		23-Aug-2012 02:05
I've never seen one out this way. I imagine they couldn't survive the winters we have.

Fabulous, Christine!! V

LynnH		23-Aug-2012 01:22
I don't see them often here, although I'm sure they're around. One of my favorite insects, I had one as a "pet" when I was a kid. LOL V

Nice sharp shot Christine. I've been seeing a couple in my yard the past few weeks.

Awesome capture Christine! The green beast has really been magnified by the fabulous dof! :) V
