Now John dont you go flashing too much otherwise you might get a bit of a reputation.

Another interesting subject and something new again.

Hi John

Very nice, wouldn't want to meet it in a dark alley though. Great capture of a very different subject

Well done on finding one with all three tail filaments intact. Great macro work, and a real pleasure to see something a bit different on here.
