This colourful creature was devouring rose leaves in my garden in northwest Thailand. I was fascinated by the way its spikes went through balls of water. I love meniscus.
Wow! That is one wild looking insect John! It is interesting how the spikes are through the bubbles of water and they stay whole. Congralulations on your Feature!
Thanks Ginny, the spiked water is a plus for this shot. I imagine the spikes are there to make it less attractive for birds.
Your featured grub appeared on my screen and I thought – just another backyard shot – what a wonderful surprise your backyard is!! Hours of viewing and i have to go to work
