Great detail and colors from the bright yellow to the blurred green. Overall it's a very pleasing buggy picture! I'm loving his cute antennae.

Kristof, I like this angle on the barbed wire; good cropping/composition and the detail speaks for itself. A face only another Panorpa communis could love! Well done. - Patty

WoW! I don't think anyone could ever make this guy up no matter how creative they were! You've captured him so well- the clarity and color are outstanding! I noticed that you use the barbed wire in a lot of your insect pictures. Is this a favorite place to find these little guys? I think the wire makes a dramatic and unusual backdrop.

Kristof, I don't know what you put on that barbed wire, but it sure attracts a wide variety of creatures. Belgium certainly has interesting bugs! This is fascinating to look at, because you've captured it so well -- from one odd end to the other.

Wow, a scorpion fly! Guess that's better than a flying scorpion. Don't think I've ever actually seen one of these. What a strange looking insect! You did a great job of capturing it. Oh, this is a male, by the way, and that is not a stinger.
