One of the unusual long horn beetle found wondering among the wooden crafts at one of the souvenir store in Sangkhaburi's 3 pagodas border town. I removed it onto a pot of plant next to it. It has some black fur on its body and two pom-poms on its antennaes. It was well behave and posed for me for 5 minutes before flying off. Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

Waiting impatiently for these great posers to return. Winter has been loooong this year. Pachydiplax longipennis, Libellulidae. Central IL, Summer 2012.

I just got one shot of this busy bee and worst of all, I was using a manual Nikkor 55mm lens...I had to be so close, accurate and fast. That kept me worried the entire day about the final output. Thankfully, it came out just fine.
