A Colorful Night

The composition on these shots are horrible but just wanted to show anyway. C&C welcome and thanks for looking. The last guy was a bit camera shy and wouldn't show me his face.

Lovely Shots.
I am so envying you as we are deep into fall hear and there are no bugs in sight
I miss my macro lens

Thanks for the kind words. We are in the beginning of our fall here as well but the critters are still active. I only get to go down to Costa Rica about a 10th of the year and when I was there last week it rained the entire time. Lift up some logs or rocks. It may help. I too am wondering what to do this winter.

Really nice array of colors.

Thanks Mike. I am lucky to have thousand of insects to photo........just need to learn how to photo them.........If anyone wants to visit Costa Rica I have a free place for them to stay and a free farmer/insect/wildlife expert to show them around. Just let me know and I can make it happen. Everyone is more than welcome.I can arrange free pickup at the airport in Golfito, Costarica and free lodging. Over 200 hectares of primary rain forest. All I ask is a small donation to the school in the town in which I support because of their lack of government funds. Transportation would be free as well. If interested, send me a private message for details. Isaac

Thanks Isaac for the invitation, that would be an awesome macro photo safari. I lived in Panama for about 6 years back in the 80's while in the military, and their jungles were just filled with all kind of creepy crawler.
