Folded this sometime ago, but didn't have the chance to take a picture. Nothing close to the original, but I tried my best :)
Sanibel Island, Florida
January 2015
One of the many small cockroaches I saw outside residential areas on Sanibel Island. This nymph might be a Surinam Cockroach (Pycnoscelus surinamensis), an invasive species that's quite common in Florida.

This is a photograph of a very bad Germand Cockroach infestation in Sunderland. There were thousands of roached.
I went into the basement where I work to grab a window-unit air conditioner. I picked it up and almost dropped it immediately after seeing this monster lurking beneath it.
I wonder why everyone likes to fold cockroaches. Maybe it's because they're everywhere? Sipho Mabona
This is the jaw (or mandible if you prefer) of a Cockroach. Due to how far we're zoomed in here it is very hard to get much of it in focus at the same time. We can easily see 3 teeth on the nearside, but you can just about follow the line of teeth round to the farside if the jaw from top to bottom.

The emerald cockroach wasp or jewel wasp (Ampulex compressa) is a solitary wasp of the family Ampulicidae. It is known for its unusual reproductive behavior, which involves stinging a cockroach and using it as a host for its larvae. It thus belongs to the entomophagous parasites.

Brazilian cockroaches. These guys usually hang out in the forest, not your trash bin. Still, they are pretty frightening for those iffy around insects.

Let's play a game.
Pick one item from the very beginning of your original Flickr stream and pick an early item of what you shoot a lot. These should be items within the first four pages. Compare it to similar items at the halfway point of your stream.
One of my first 10 images consisted of flowers and my 365 makes up most of my collection. I've had a Flickr account since 2008, so I'm using pictures from late autumn/early winter '09. Get the idea? I just want you to look at what you started as and what style evolutions may have taken place.
Do you think you've grown/changed in a positive matter? Or is it just something different, neither good or bad, to you? Note any changes in gear, location, etc.
