Guess what this is? An unexpected find in my back yard.

chriss35 - Oct 03, 2008 02:43 PM EDT Bruce, This is a very nice image, I look forward to seeing the other shots.
Thanks for sharing this one with us, Chriss:)
Alfresco - Oct 03, 2008 01:22 AM EDT I knew I couldn't fool a bunch of naturalists! It is the head of a very large dragonfly that was catching some rays on a grey dogwood bush in my back yard. But it's not a face-on shot, the view is of the top of its head. I'll post some other shots of it soon, it's markings are perfect camouflage against the bush.

alandrapal - Oct 01, 2008 01:52 AM EDT I think it's a caterpillar.

chriss35 - Sep 30, 2008 01:52 PM EDT Yes I sort of agree with Ann on this one, looks very much like a Macro shot of a dragonfly.
