Re: Post your insects
Found this little guy sitting for a change, they usually move very quickly and are impossible to capture.

Re: Post your insects
It reminds me of the walking stick we had years ago, good camouflage. It was a female and reproduced on its own. After a while we had hundreds. Originally Posted by Flavio

Re: Post your insects
Since there was a cool looking caterpillar already post, I thought I would add one to the mix!
And I believe Walking Sticks were mentioned as well, but these two don't appear to be reproducing on their own!

Amazing colours Terry. TBH, we don't get caterpillars like this in the Netherlands I think. Originally Posted by Loose Canon

Re: Post your insects
It was quite the little model too, Peter! I actually thought it liked having its photo shot!
May be hard to tell, but it was looking up at me saying "cheese"!
I can't blame it! It is a gorgeous creature!

Re: Post your insects
The first is actually an "ex-insect"!
It is an abandoned (outgrown) exoskeleton.

Re: Post your insects
Both shots look very good, but I like the first one most. Nice texture and detail and that being an ex-insect... Originally Posted by Loose Canon

Re: Post your insects
I'm a proper newbie to this discipline. Just recently bought the Sigma 150mm 2.8 and I'm loving some of the results. However seeing some of the shots just in this thread alone I know I've got another mountain to climb!
Here's a pic taken recently in Crete,
P.S. Where do I get a new set of knees?
