Macro mode


(click on the images to see their intricate exoskeletons and bodies clearly)

the ant lion bug
tiny fellows that burrow in the soil waiting for their prey to fall into their trap

the red silk cotton tree bug
(thrives on the red silk cotton tree)

the praying mantis

we were lucky to spot this fascinating insect
had we been a little distracted it could have been easily missed.
