I haven't seen one of these since I was a kid, and if it hadn't been for my son spotting it, I probably wouldn't have now. You can't tell from this pic because it is backlit, but it looks so much like a leaf (which is its camouflage) that they are very hard to see!!

Fantastic shot. With the back light the wings look like they are glowing. Superb detail as well.

But I being poor have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly for you tread upon my dreams
So clever nature is.
The photo is very well done with the dark background setting off the monster in every gruesome detail.

Very cool. The backlighting adds a ton of contrast to this shot which really makes it pop. Nice job there Lil PJ.

I really enjoy hearing from my caedes friends.
Fantastic imagery, PJ. This is wonderful! I love the way you captured him in the light yet were able to leave the background entirely out of the shot. Nice work, m'lady!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Terrific light,clarity and DOF here! Good job! :)

Very cool shot of this little insect PJ! I remember camping in Kentucky as a kid. These little buggers would sing so loudly it seemed like all you could hear at night. All in all they sounded great to me. =)
