Always found the stick insect interesting in the way they move slowly. Very long insect with a very small head and long legs.

    I got given a nice big spider......well not as big as a huntsman, but I think it's from the ORB family........I'll be attempting to take its picture tomorrow, hope it doesn't take off before I get the chance cause I'll be doing it outside.

    Thanks for sharing Danny.......... Skippy (Australia)

    J: Another cool bug! And so cooperative.

    H: The design (engineering) just blows me away. From those leaf-like palps to the bumps on his head. Wow.

    J: Nice pose in that second shot.

    H: Thanks for sharing.

    I loved watching these
    I'd let them walk all over me, and then my children weren't afraid of them. I never was able to get such a cool macro of their heads like you did though! Great shot.
