kja Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I haven't been able to start work this morning because of this guy. - he freaks me out - I am compelled to take photos of him - I decided to play with my 1.4 teleconverter - I feel the need to share it with the world All adding up to not being overly productive LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Very nice :D I came across a couple of these mating at the weekend, but didn't have my camera on me, so they were left to continue in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raineth Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 its lucky you don't live where we live because they are everywhere in summer! Sometimes they accidentally jump into your face when you're walking. I love the first photo especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 @luke - I was hoping "Mr Cat Food" but none of my three felines were interested at all! @crazy, pers, cat - thanks @raineth - I would die of a heart attack. I cannot deal with insects that randomly jump or jump at you. This guy was all bouncing and weaving his head so I had to leave him alone as I knew he was going to spring any second. Sure enough, as soon as I started to scoot backwards he LEAPT off the chair. I shrieked like a bad actor in a low budget slasher flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 WOW those photos are fantastic. I've never seen one quite like that before. Love his armour bits. Like something out of a science fiction movie. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
