Ooooh, a Las Vegas Showgirl insect! Excellent! This is an utterly fantastic capture, and again it does something to insect photography that you don't often see in the genre. This little critter LOOKS like he (she?) has a distinct and somewhat quirky personality. Great work in capturing this little nymph in just the right way. Oh, and by the way, your gallery rocks, especially since I adore insects, land-dwelling crustaceans, and beautifully predatory eight-legged things.
