Found this 3-horned insect doing rounds on a flower plant. First time I am seeing such a critter.

Raghu, that is a strange looking creature. That curved horn across the back looks like it could be dangerous.

Amazing looking creature! Very sharp photo. Good capture. Donna

cool photo....looks like it should live back with the dragonfly and the age of the dinosaurs!!!

Thank you, Jerry and Donna. I find my FZ3, though only 3.2 mpixels, is very good at macros if there is sufficient sunlight, and I have managed decent close ups without an add-on lens. For long shots, especially where you need cropping (as in my crow nest snaps), I feel the need for more mps.Anyway,I am glad you like my photos and thanks once again for consistently encouraging me by your comments.

That really is an interesting looking insect. Very nice captures and I really like the colors.

I like it!

Looks like an alien!

Or a bug designed by Gaultier!

Cheers,

Very nice pictures Raghu, very clear and lots of detail. How big are they Raghu? They look dangerous!

Hi RAghu

Thats an awesome looking bug - do you have a Nikon Macro filter lik the 5T ? If so I'd really love to see that lil bug a wee bit closer.

Cheers
