A few from the Archive

Sort of trying to tidy up my shots from this year- A few of the shots I liked.

My first Bush cricket

All very good Brian. I get a kick out of the antennae on that critter in the second shot. Number 4 would probably make a very good fishing lure.

Thanks Bruce.
Never thought of using a photograph as a fishing lure- wonder if it would work

Great shots Brian - all of them. The mozzy larva is like a schematic diagram - you can see all the working parts!

If you do use a picture for a lure, will you take a pic of it and post it, please. great shots, I like.

Great shots Brian. That cricket has the most interesting patterns on its body. Love your nocturnal isopod, the lighting works. The mosquito larva is well done, looks like a slide preparation.

Thanks all for the comments.
I thought the mossie was interesting- I think those tubes are its breathing spiracles that go right up into the tail.

especially the cricket
and the last one of the fish catcher

a cricket in the cold weather over in these islands
a cricket at any time

I know the English are fond of cricket
but.........

Great shots Brian. I found the crickets always photogenic , from all angles

Thanx for sharing

Thanks Kallousa.
You are right about crickets- they have such a lovely transluscent green colouring and often with nice patterning. Can be difficult though with the amazingly long antennae some of them have.
