I somehow thought that my opinion would be posted there.. lol

No matter, I'll just post it here as well:

I found this by accident.. I wasn't aware of the fact that you guys did a gallery of the week. Cool idea ! :)
I don't know what it is about insects, perhaps it's because they are so different from the larger and more noticeable animal species. They are also very diverse and often have very interesting lifestyles as well.
Also, it's somewhat of a triumph to finally capture that Dragonfly you were after for the last half an hour. That's what makes it beat landscapes and people shots in my opinion; the hunt.

P.S.
You'll understand I have to point out that you selected have two non-insect arthropods here ;)
