These guys were on the wall at least away from the house. I did put some enticements out there to lure them into being willing subjects for the session.The first shot was put into pastel mode with the K5's filter selection and I used Picasa 3 graduated tint to tone down the background.The Winter was wet here so at the moment they aren't showing up in the house looking for water and food.

Really good series, Charlie. Seen this close, they look almost alien.

Good thing Gary that they are small and not the size of a cat or bigger.

"Them! Them!" Great shots, Capn. These take me back to the '50s when James Arnes battle giant ants in a B&W, B-grade-but-now-classic movie.
