It does look like a mask! Very unusual insect with great detail and lighting. Very nice.

A cockroach wanted to become a lady bug and this is what happened :) Good sharp capture of the bug Christian.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
What a design on his back! It looks like Chinese lacquer work!
