THE SUBJECT: / A Boiga irregularis (Brown Tree Snake) all coiled and ready for action was only centimetres (inches) away from my lens as I crouched down to make this close-up. / Yes it IS poisonous but it is one of the smaller rear fanged varieties of snake so it would not be able to give me a bite. They are a nocturnal species and can become aggressive when disturbed. / [These are the snakes which made their way to Guam during WII and are still causing havoc to that island’s environment.] THE LOCATION: / Once a year the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club meets up with the local North Coast Herpetological Group for a day of photography and a BBQ. The event is called ‘Snakes Alive!’ / They bring the snakes and lizards, we take photographs for them and then we all have a BBQ. A really great day for all. Our Club President then collects our images on a CD and gives it to their Society. A real mutually beneficial arrangement. THE MAKING OF ‘Coiled for Action (Boiga irregularis – Brown Tree Snake)’: / Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Macro, 1/125sec @ f/2.9, ISO100, Hand held. / Photoshop CS. Visit the Amphibians & Reptiles collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more sibilant serpents. UPDATE: 24-05-09 / This sibilant serpent has been featured in the Alphabet Soup Group. Enjoy!

These to very guilty looking characters are members of the species Valanga irregularis (Giant Grasshopper) , still in their nymph stage. They grow to about 9cm (3.5 inches) long and turn to a mid-brown colour. These li’l devils were photographed as I was skulking around my garden in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on balmy summer day. Good for grasshoppers – good for photographers!

THE SUBJECT: / If Grasshoppers do have minds, I wonder what was going through the mind of this Valanga irregularis (Giant Grasshopper – Nymph) when confronted by my lens. THE LOCATION: / On the grounds of a property owned by a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend at Kundabung, north of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on a hot, humid, overcast summer day. THE MAKING OF ‘Wazzup?!’: / There were five of us up at Kundabung on our annual pre-Christmas get-together and after a very nice spot of morning tea and a good yarn we each grabbed our camera gear and scattered to different parts of the property hunting our preferred prey. / I always start off searching for ‘little things’ and it was not long before I found this juvenile Grasshopper on an Agapanthus leaf. / I get a good laugh out of that startled, stunned, shocked look these insects have whenever I find them. / Canon EOS D60 & Canon 28-135 USM IR Lens: RAW, Manual settings of f/16 @ 1/200sec, 115mm, ISO 100, On-board TTL flash. / Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.

THE SUBJECT: / Displaying its beautiful colours and markings a Valanga irregularis (Giant Grasshopper – Nymph) clings nervously on the edge of an Agapanthus leaf ready to flip around to the underside when threatened by my lens. / If you look closely you can see the veins of the immature wings developing. / There are probably millions of these Grasshoppers at their instar stage in early summer and while the colours and markings are lovely to look at they are also highly attractive to insect eating birds. Nature always keeps things in balance.
