+ Do I Make You Horny Baby?! by John down under

Adelaide, Australia

This earwig was good enough to sit there on the end of the match with pincers ominously extended behind to give the impression of .. well .. horns! What title? Austin Powers to the rescue, baby!
I don't recall whether I used my +4 CUL for this macro.

Hmmm .. it seems this is the only one of 201 entries in these two galleries that doesn't have a comment. I guess that shows that it pays not to wait until the last moment to whack your last entries in, especially if they're not going to be winners. I thought the title might evoke some reaction, but the end of the exhibition gallery might just be too good a hiding place when compared with the comp gallery where fortunes and made and lost.
I'm quite proud of this little effort in the context of bug macros rather than satisfaction of the theme of this Challenge. I like the unusual perspective to emphasise the power of this little creature. I'll happily let ants nip at me, but I have a healthy respect for earwig pincers.
OK, now even this pic has a comment to make a full house of comments.
Cheers from me to me. ;o)
