Where were you when I was doing a class lesson on arthropods? I'll just have to do that unit again just so I can share these amazing shots with the kids. You are an incredible photographer! I can't wait to see more.

Het is zo inderdaad een monster, en ze blijven ook nog niet stil zitten.

It is this way indeed a monster, and they continue sit also not yet
quietly.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

That’s nicely done. Beautiful colour density to compliment all that lovely detail.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Hi Paul, my this insect is remarkably designed, it's segmentation is seen in distinct detail, and you have made this possible with your skillful photography! This anthropod will make movie history! Seriously, the photo is very well done and that gorgeous sky of blue really defines him! Sincerely, Marilyn

Now this is a super image Paul! The special technique worked very well on this one. A diffuser on the flash works well for this type of image and gives a softer light that doesn't overpower the highlight areas. You can make one from a small translucent plastic bottle with the ends cut off and split down the side. Then just clip it over your popup flash. Very well done.

Everyone is suddenly getting down to insect word! This shot I would rather place in macro category. I hope you will instruct us on the construction of the dragonflies as details are pin sharp, Paul. Can't wait to learn your secret...

Paul,
Just downloaded and blew this monster up on my 19 inch screen. Simply unbelievable!
I see from my messages I have more monster in queue. Oh, God, I'm not really a bug person.
