BIOI am a Florida native, I grew up in a Mayo, Florida on a tobacco, chicken and watermelon farm. I am 32 and currently enrolled at the University of South Florida, studying to become an Industrial Engineer. My great-great grandfather was one of the first photographers in Florida. I use a Canon 40D and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. I enjoy nature photography and macro photography.

Youre done with your calculus? YAAAAY FOR YOU!!!! So now we can....count (LOL...sigh...im sooo pathetic arent i?) on seeing you more i hope. I dont know what kind of bug that is...but it sure is freaky. It looks like a cross between a wasp and a dragonfly. Have a wonderful day Wendy. #:O)

I am not sure what it is either but it does look quite mean. similar to a wasp but much larger. you sure had nerves of steel getting that close. outstanding macro

Amazing how you take a shot from such little thing. Nature is so beautiful and you see it.

That is one weird looking bug. I guess there aren't many bugs that look "normal", but this one is even less so. Excellent image!

Excellent and very impressive shot. I think, this must be a kind a wasp, but i'm not sure. :)

All I know is it has a stinger. You're one brave photogirl. Hope you did well on your math stuff!

LOL, I am forced to smile. I got comments on a few of my last postings because they showed me holding a few different snakes. I thought nothing of having done it because I had a firm hold on and total control of them all. There is absolutely no place to hold this wicked critter and no way to control its actions. That stinger looks as dangerous as any rattlesnake fang. I am not sure but I would say this is some species of ground hornet and I would bet whatever it is, it packs a whollop. The composition, lighting, and detail all come together with the great subject to make an outstanding photo. Well done.
