A stick subject (stick insect)

[nzmacro]

Always found the stick insect interesting in the way they move slowly. Very long insect with a very small head and long legs.

What a great face on the second shot :D only a mother could luv it hu :rofl
I got given a nice big spider......well not as big as a huntsman, but I think it's from the ORB family........I'll be attempting to take its picture tomorrow, hope it doesn't take off before I get the chance cause I'll be doing it outside.

Thanks for sharing Danny.......... Skippy (Australia)

J: Another cool bug! And so cooperative.

H: The design (engineering) just blows me away. From those leaf-like palps to the bumps on his head. Wow.

J: Nice pose in that second shot.

H: Thanks for sharing.

Thats way cool. I like the head shot. The body of that thing is big. did it feel wierd when it was crawling around?

I'd let them walk all over me, and then my children weren't afraid of them. I never was able to get such a cool macro of their heads like you did though! Great shot.
