I usually don't shoot may insect type things but this little guy was just sitting there quietly protecting his poppy pod I just had to get a shot.

I love the shot, and the title. Could you please include a larger image?
I would also like to see her sweet face with more clarity.

Fantastic job, Keep looking and shooting!

A daddy long legs. I like the way its legs are echoed by the background. Cool picture.

Lorna:
Nicely camouflaged, sitting and waiting for unsuspecting prey to land! Nicely seen and captured.

Wow! That's some spectacular camouflage! What a gorgeous spider! I like your diagonal composition - and the depth of field is just right, too. Excellent details. Well done, Lorna! I love this one.

Well composed closeup, details look great Lorna. Like the title, wonder what species it is?
I think the pod perch works nicely with its complimentary color, and interesting textures :toast:
