Insecto (Macro)

Approches ! Viens nous voir !

A vida é valor absoluto. Não existe vida menor ou maior, inferior ou superior. Engana-se quem mata ou subjuga um animal por julgá-lo um ser inferior. Diante da consciência que abriga a essência da vida, o crime é o mesmo.

(Olympia Salete)

predator insect ... texture by pareeerica

This strange looking insect is neither a scorpion or a fly and is completely harmless. It scavenges around in the undergrowth looking for dead insects to feed on. Seen in Dunwich, Suffolk.

Indian Stick Insect. This nearly got trodden on.

Siproeta epaphus

Pleased I packed the insect repellent on this visit.

In folklore, often used to predict the coming Winter weather. The longer the orange colored band, the milder the Winter! Whether there is any merit to this is a matter for speculation. However, we who have been brought up on this bit of folklore, subscribe to its veracity! If this critter is correct, we will have a slightly milder Winter.

A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Vowel", i.e. the subject must start with a vowel, in this case Insect. The Robber Fly is a ruthless predator which catches smaller insects in flight, then devours them.

Thank you for all your kind comments and faves.

I'm not going to get into photographing insects. Don't have the lens for it and that's the easy part... don't know the first thing about them.. and as my daughter points out, "better not start that as well, you don't have enough time left Dad". But this little guy has sort of earned his spot. I take coffee and a bit of breakfast out the back, he'd landed in the dogs water bowl and was in all sorts of trouble. Lifted him out and he sat on the back of my thumb for ages, wouldn't move.... don't think he had much strength left. Maybe the sun energised him because eventually he started to brush the water off with his back legs. Finally persuaded that a leaf might be the way to go, when I came out later he was back to life and on the handrail... above the water bowl..

Refold/redesign of Linnaeus' Leaf Insect. Antennae were made to more realistic length, tarsi were lengthened, pretarsal bifurcation added. The back still needs some work, but I think it's moving in a more realistic direction. Takes 3x longer to fold now. ;)

Not touch :( from Mexico

Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona

Searching on internet it's a Rove Beetle (Ocypus ophthalmicus) original from Europe and Asia, but I'm in Cental America. How did it get here?
