modern day dinosaur

WOW, this is amazing, did you find out exactly what it is?, maybe its a very rare insect, and you have stumbled upon something magnificant, BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I have to agree…..what a great find Christopher! Love the detail, it’s amazing just watching him eat away…........beautiful light on this shot….......nice when a little picture can say so much…....LOVELY work Chris! :)))

Chris, maybe put this into the insect groups, someone there may have a clue as to what it is…to me it looks like a bee- crossed with a shell, crossed with an ant and a crab lol

awesome, i look forward to finding out what it is, also look forward to the other little creatures you may find while out taking photo’s :0)

Wonderful macro image Christopher.

fantastic..but ewwwwwww what is it!!!! i havent seen those here yet…and dont want to..but great macro on this one

Awesome capture! Reminds me of a mantid (frontal claws/feet), a bee (shape of abdomen), dragonfly (large thorax, in fact, way too large for what seems like tiny wings), and something in the wrong light (way too pale for direct sunlight unless it’s albino).

But since insects and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time, maybe this is what happened to them all: they shrunk and they’re still here!

fantastic macro

fabulous capture .what is it ?

This looks like one of those “childs of the earth or potato bugs as they are called … typical in the south west. (first one I ever saw, ... just creeped me out) ... Nice shot.

Brilliant shot. Beautiful color and dynamic composition. I think you found a living dinosaur. :-)

Hi Chris, did you ever find out what this bug is?
