Wonderful shot.
Holy macro! How natural it is to copy things...Nature is not 100% original or individual, but each part borrows from all others, just like art. Amazing shot and insect, thank you!
An original criptic creature. Great shot!
Gorgeous !!!
This is a smart being... smile me. Dressed as a leafe in a short leave. Cool!
Great shot Jim. This is very intelligent dude. Camouflage works better in atumn than in spring i guess.
