Froghopper - 1st one looking for the earphones to it's mp3 player to listen to the frog song... Then on a stalk, where I had focus OK on the eye, and then moments later a Bark Fly crawled underneath the 'hopper and caused it to flinch. Shame really, or that would have been a really neat shot.

    The last Photo is very cool Just love it. I have never spent much time on Macro photography. Just don't have the patience for it.
    You have really captured something in that last photos - not too sure whats going on But the large insect is displaying what look like a strong maternal instinct.

    Thanks for the Photo!
