What the...??? What is that thing? The head looks like a Mantis...but the rest looks like a worm with legs. What a freaky looking thing. Awesome macro though. Crisp and clear with beautiful quality and i love that black background. Just like Danny said...it looks like its staring into the abyss. Have a great day. #:O)
