I found this guy in my backyard. It's not very big, about 3/4" long. Hope you like ;)

BE - thank you very much for your nice comments. I too love these guys, but I don't see them often :( . Hopefully I will see them more often this summer ;)

Awesome shots... #2 is perfect and #3 is a great eyeball shot.
What lens did you use to capture these?

Wow Leo, #2 and #3 are very very nice shots! Classic robberfly pose in #2. Nice bokeh, it's really creamy looking and very sharp shots.

Thanks everyone for your very kind comments! It seems most of you like #2. I like #2 as well, but I also like the perspective of #1. It gives me an "outter space" feeling ;), but maybe it's just me ;) Thanks all for looking :)

Thanks, Athena! As I said, #1 is one of my favorites (after all, that's why it's posted here, I guess:lol: )!
