Excellent work Kurt. Normally I can identify my favorite picture in a set quickly. I'm having a difficult time selecting a favorite in this set. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us.

Wow - these are alien creatures! Wonderful photos - thank you very much for sharing not only your beautiful photos but the creatures from your neck of the woods! Do you mostly bring your insects indoors or do you brave the heat?
