it landed on me, shot it and then let it go in my bushes last night and then watched it wander around, it ran into a total of four tunnel spiders, they tried valiantly to have it for a midnight snack, it escaped all but the last one, but discovered this morning the spider could only immobilize it not kill it. I rescued it and it took a long time getting the web off it, but it's still active on a bush in the yard last I looked
I am really impressed with the color and general quality of those photos. There is another world out there if we take the time to look for it! You have obviously done that and done it well. John
Thank God bugs are small...

I thank you, I do look at the world differently now without a doubt.

Great detail! In the second one, you almost expect a tiny soldier to run out, mount this thing, and fly away to war, like in the movie 'Avatar'. Maybe the little Asian warrior in one of Tinusbum's shots....
:)
Very well done and I could not say it better than John.
Just what the heck is it?
Great Profile in the 2nd shot, mean looking critter.
Wow! Just when I had almost given up on macro. Thanks.
beautiful shots!!!! you have some weird texas bugs in calif. :-D
A very cool critter. I love the 2nd shot.
Fantastic set; #6 could be the inspiration for a sequel to the Alien movie.

It's a snakefly, very closely related to lacewings.
