Sorry, but got to looking at these and decided to spend a little more time with them. I'm just fascinated with the way these bugs are put together. Never really had a chance to look at them that close before. After a little processing and cropping, here's two of the three that I posted yesterday.
Again, taken with the K20 and L A Dine.

Hey Arvin, nice work.

He looks a bit like a lobster, especially in the second one.

I was thinking that

Fascinating creatures and nice shots Arvin, i think the second one works better as it concentrates on the details.

Thanks for the comments guys. I agree about the second one, the "pose" is better. Have tried to get shots of these before with little success. Earlier this spring a smaller one that was totally green got on my wife's jeans as she was sitting in a lawn chair. I took several shots of that one but not one came out that was worth keeping. Really disappointed. Was luckier this time.

Nice shots, but man, those things are creepy. I remember when I was a kid being out at my grandparent's in the country, and those things would just fall out of no where and land on you. Talk about scaring the crap out someone.
