Description
I have heard that these insects could survive a nuclear war! As Gross as many of us feel about them cockroaches are fascinating creatures..
A set of claws on its feet enables it to climb a wall as easily as it scoots across the kitchen counter.
Its attennae, which rival NASA’s Global Positioning System, help it locate family and friends with state-of-the-art precision. Its set of eyes, made up of 4,000 individual lenses, allows it to see simultaneously in all directions.
Its rear end is equipped with a motion detector that lets it know which way to run away when its safety is jeopardized. And unlike other creatures, this insect sheds
its skeleton, not its skin.
Ever wonder why the cockroach is so difficult to eliminate? You know that white gook that spurts out when it's stepped on or bitten into? That’s more than stored fat. The cockroach turns valuable nutrients into an energy source which helps it neutralize or lessen life-threatening chemicals.
And if it doesn’t chew its food properly, that’s okay. It has another set of teeth inside its digestive system that finishes the work.
This was taken with the new Canon 100 IS Macro lens and my first image with it..

Wonderful macro shot my friend, excellent capture.
The lens is awesome my Friend,the image of the cockerRoach is really sharp, and so is the treebark. The image is spectacular not because of the lens, but by the one behind the lens.

Excellent macro and grats on the lens.
Besides the shot being killer, the info and write up is just as good. But this shot really works nice man. Love the DOF and that you can really see there is another one behind the subject. Nice use of the f/8.0. Good stuff here Dan.
