Well done and what an interesting insect. Hopefully someone on the macro section will feature it soon.

Wow. I don't know how they could do that either. The things women go through for beauty.

Queen Elizabeth I (UK) died from poisoning that came from the makeup she used.

Thanks Sippy. I believe the males have wings also whereas the females are stuck walking.

Thanks Roger. I did post these same pictures in the macro section but sooner or later maybe one of the macro experts will come across one and post.

I believe lead was once a component of makeup. Of coarse until about 45 years ago we had lead based paint for our kids bedrooms and plumbing solder was 50% lead.
