Wonderful detail of this guy. I've tried photographing these for the luminescence, but never as successfully. Seeing this reminds me of my father walking up and down his garden rows swinging his Japanese beetle trap, like a shirtless priest swinging his sensor. At each plant he'd stop and brush beetles into the top of the trap. ...many years ago.

ReplyDeleteNice photo. I always wonder why they put that leg out like they do.

ReplyDeleteExquisite detail! Not a fan of "bugs" but you captured the beauty of this living creature :)
