Outstanding detail, well done.
Very nice macro series, Bob.
It is good to see that sort of detail showing clues of lifestyle. Good images of course.
Great shootin'! I especially like the very close detail shots. Reminds me of the hornworm horn you did a while back.

And yet, they do not. Minute differences in components are key points in positive ID in many Insects.
Claw insertion, tarsal count, hairs, all are similar, but to the initiated are quite different.
Discerning those differences is where practice comes in. And a lot of literature.
Nature reuses good ideas if they work. That is the reason for similarities.
Again, convergent evolution. You constantly Excell at this. My compliments.
