Amazing. It's nice that you are shooting him instead of him shooting you! LOL

Soft, detailed, great composition. I think that's a crane fly, actually -- looks a little big for a mosquito and also it has to proboscis. I suppose it could be a large male mosquito (only the females bite). On a side note, have you noticed how nasty alot of female insects are? Not to apply our morals to them or anything, I just mean in terms of violence and aggression. Only the female mosquito bites, all soldier ants are female -- you don't even want to know the mating process of the female siafu ants, and I wish I could un-know it. But enough about my morbid fascination with insect violence, your photo is fantastic.
