Thankyou for pointing that out! I famously spelt the word 'was' as woz all the way through my A level English exam.....
What an unusual and unique creature... I learn so much from your images!

Excellent capture and a 'pertty' bug
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
A little bit of whispering eh? Nice one, and a cute looking little beetle.
What a colourful chappie!!!
What a wonderful closeup! Pretty little guy!
All these beetles are quite alike. I have never come across one of these
What a colorful fellow. A fantastic macro. Was it looking for grubs on your arm?
Nice shot !!!
That's a show stopper in such bold colours! The scale of this bugs life is given clearly from the skin texture.Great find and shot! Latin titles nearly always leave me guessing at what's to come. The "formic" bit made my think ant straight away, not beetle, so half right?
Very cool capture colourful bug
Awesome macro shot of this colorful dude Andrea.
Lovely creature! I like the hand-woven look.
very good micro
A real colourful little fellow.... nature is often the greatest artist of all, we can learn so much from it.
A very colorful bugger and is that your arm?
