    This kind of insect photography I like. The other creepy bugs and such, I can do without.

    Very nice job.

    Wow, Bob...

    Both superb photos... colours and dof spot on!

    Lovely sharp captures of indeed a more beautiful species of insect (than many of the creepy-crawlies!)

    Thanks for sharing.... (you make me jealous!)

    Great shots!

    But I have to disagree with nhmom. That butterfly has a creepy face.

    PhotoCarp,you're right. I don't think I've seen a butterfly with such big eyes before.
