Very interesting subjects and lovely shots, Paul. Great shot of the wasp-mimicking micropezid fly.

Some really nice shots. The Tarchon caterpillar and Wasp-mimicking micropezid fly are awesome but the Stick insect portrait is a bit hard to make out. Possible a better angle on the face, a way to get it to stand out a bit more would have made it easier to see what it was.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.
