Incredible..the insect you photograph is really huge, I immediately "zoom" the second photo you share. as you said, he's bigger than the largest type of rat in his group. at first glance I saw his face, his body is very scary and really looks like an "alien" 😅
But what makes it very unique is that its body and wings and legs are wrapped in a bright green color, it looks very perfect. Is this what is called a disguise in order to find Justin's prey?
Thank you for sharing this unique insect photo with us my brother, even though you say you are not used to doing insect photography, but I think this can be the best start for you to do it. why not hehe 😄
Hopefully you don't have a serious injury due to slipping, and I hope you are always in good health justin 🙏
I was lucky to have a good subject, it made me seem like a talented photographer even though I am definitely not.
I need to remember to keep my phone on me when I wandering around the property because I often encounter giant insects. My favorite is the walking stick insects, but I have only seen one here since we moved in.
Thanks for stopping by, and hopefully no more butt mud skiing for me 🤣.
