I especially like the third one, it is an unusual angle which makes it stand out.
What are the orange shiny things between its eyes?
BTW what is it about bugs and this forum? There seems to be quite a theme developing!
Best wishes, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

But no. They sit at home drinking beer and photographing insects.
Bizarre.

PS: I do admit that it's a bit of a drive from NQ to Bondi, but all you have to do is hitch a ride on a road-train. No worries.

The wings remind me of model planes when you put the dope on the tissue.
