I almost stepped on this one, being so close in color to the sidewalk.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
These are the coolest insect out there because they don't fear humans quite as much as other insects. Plus, they are apt to interact with us, rotating their heads and looking right at us, slowly raising their forearms in response to an approach... a few of my Seabee mates and I found one while working in Japan, making a pet of it, feeding it daily and seeing it interact with us, then returning it to the garden we found it in when our time came to leave. The clarity of your shot, Jeff, even lets us see the tiny details of its compound eyes. Its ability to turn its head a little more than 180 degrees and seeing the tiny dots in the eyes means he's watching you (counting the segments in the tail the top several here covered by folded wings, tells us the gender... if it's 5 it's a female; if its 7 it's a male).

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
My favorite insect, what a great find, and so well detailed! Excellent!
