Mmm that looks tasty

Better just taste it first (with feet)- never realised they can bend their legs like that !

Mmm it is tasty !

wonderful series Brian... it's mouthparts look like the aliens mouth I can almost hear it hissing

WoW....
Excellent pictures, very sharp and clear.
The colors are great, were there a use of flash?

Thanks Dave
The legs look a bit odd in #2

Thanks Alan ,
Agree- always assumed that was where they got the idea from.

Thanks Ido T
Yes flash was used but the light conditions were bright so it would have been partially acting as fill flash (ISO200, F11, 1/200th)

Just stunning - reminds me of that old poster that used to appear on doctor's waiting room walls - the one about flies feeding and then it being your turn.

Excellent series. They are just lovely shots. Very sharp!

Fantasic sequence there Brian, well done to spot that.

Ahhh yes!! I'm a huge fan of the Aliens movies, in fact, I just bought a 12" McFarlane Alien figure He looks grand as well.

edited: I'm a huge fan of H.R Giger's artwork, his surrealism is awesome, and his technique, simply wonderful.

Those are superb, Brian! It's always a pleasure to view your work. I had no idea the legs were that articulated.

Amazing shots as always Brian.

I bet that fly does yoga!

Great work!

Great series. Well done!
