Unbelievable! Should I accept what my eyes are telling me? And the size of these creatures!

I expected the walking stick to be around 4-5". This is a walking "log" :shock: I'm not completely certain I want to know the size of the others :| ;-)
All outstanding as usual :thumbup:

It is so interesting to see your insect wildlife and the quality of the shots is amazing as usual. The size of the Stick insect was so unexpected.

The Perfect focal plane really gives your subjects depth. Excellent.

Kurt, I think this just might be the first time I've seen your bugs "dirty" and not looking pristine :wink:

Another nice set-- and as Martin said very nice job staying "on the focal-plane".
BTW, do you have any of the unidentified white critter?

Thanks, Bill. The sticks were slightly longer than 5 inches...probably 6...but the one with hand is much longer. Do note that they look longer then they actually are because they straighten and point their front legs forward.I expected the walking stick to be around 4-5".

Thanks, LRF. Yes, I do try to find the "magic angle" when stacking is not an option. Another nice set-- and as Martin said very nice job staying "on the focal-plane".

I don't have any of the unidentified white critter at the moment. I intend to find some and send it to one of the entomologists I know from Facebook though.
