Longhorn …

Long-horn … after their long antennae, a sense organ they use to detect their world.

It stopped long enough for a few shots, maneuverable for different backgrounds.

A kind of beetle rarely seen in the garden, with its unusual colour.

Then, without warning, it took to the air and was gone.

Looking in the garden is suggestive of looking inside, when still enough to see.

Down in the pit something moves until focussed, its nature examined.

Eventually it is gone and something else emerges.

Until it doesn’t … if it does, complete.

I always find it so fascinating to see insects and creatures up close… They look completely different when viewed in detail!! Incredible photos!! :)

  Thanks Maysa. The hidden is that way, fascinating to observe. Seeing it is freeing it, of our poor imaginings. And once exposed can never be hidden again.

Impressive. Looks like something out of Star Wars. Actually, something from Star Wars has obviously been modelled on this.

  No doubt, much inspiration is taken from nature, inside and out.
