Not sure what it is, but that is one neat looking bug :smile: I like the detail in the head and front legs, very good color. Thanks for sharing.

Whatever this is, Kedar, it's come out really well in this image. The detail is excellent, and the greys and blacks of the creature look great against the vivid green leafage

An interesting insect well composed and captured, Kedar. The flash is a bit strong for my tastes, but it certainly brought out the nice details.

Very cool insect, Kedar. Excellent view of the head. To my eye, the flash makes it difficult to distinguish depth in the image.
