Really good shot of what looks like a rather threatening insect! Craneflies are harmless in the UK but I'm not making any assumptions about what they are like on the other side of the world .

Wow! What a fantastic photo, especially when viewed in the large format and what a scary looking insect! We have Crane Flys in the UK but they look nothing like that

Nice work Don. Ring-flash doing what it does best, well balanced illumination.

Best regards
Too far from a shore.

We do have Tiger Crane Flies link, but their markings aren't as vivid as this one.
