fantastic find and fabulous shot; I think they take their time because they enjoy the action !!
"Are you sure this position is in the karma Sutra? "Great captureStrange creatures - they look like they have tiny barnacles all over their bodies...
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
You always seem to catch critters in awkward positions
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! My, they are ugly looking little "bug"gers! But well made photo. Must have been a bit of a challenge. Keep up the good work! :-)
Crikey! I don't know how you do it. Didn't you say once you had problems with your eyes? Most 20-20 wouldn't catch this. Brilliant stuff.
wow they're ugly! great capture anyway
