Haha you guys are funny, as far as I know we arent going to be disqualifying people if their bug isnt "technically" an insect. :)
 
I think I have managed to delete my own post?

I have so many photos of bugs and critters to share (Probably why I suggest the thread) - this isnt the best quality photo I have but its probably one of the strangest bugs Ive ever seen.

Katmeows photo of the butterfly is simply stunning!

WTF is that?!?!

HAHA - I honestly have no idea? I was sitting having a beer one night when I spotted it creeping along the decking.

I can understand the furry looking 'feelers' at the front of the thing but why does it need four chimney looking things on its back?

Like I have said I love this topic and could post a few hundred shots - heres a couple that I simply want to share but are not to be classed as my entry so I wil NSFW them

If this is against the thread rules or deemed by the section mod as wrong then please delete it and accept my apologies.

it looks like the lovechild of a broom, caterpillar, cactus and Joshua tree.


Great pic bear :)

Way too many too choose from ... seriously I can't decide but I always kind liked this one.

8ft, I can see the text when I go into edit & can see nothing wrong with the tags, except maybe the file name which is of epic proportions. It may help by saving the photo as a shorter name & then uploading again?
 
yeah it says it's under 700 pixels ... whats a good site to upload pics to?

Thats from my Facebook ...

driving through a national park i spotted this clan of butterflies just chillin' out. i had to creep up slowly to get the shot,but i did. it is one of my favorite photos bc it was so serendipitous.

and i double checked....butterflies are insects;)

Please resize your entry!! Its too big, you need to scale it to 700px at its largest point. Its such a beautiful photo, I'd hate to see it disqualified for size! :(
