centipede: night-vision styled shot of a quick little predator hiding in a log.


Pill Bug: edited using the free Virtual Photographer plug-in for Photoshop. I think this one is my fav of this batch.


Leafhopper: wish I had a better macro lens to properly capture the details of these radiator grill faces. They're also camera shy, so I got lots of hopper butt shot.


Crane Fly: aka mosquito hawk. They can't bit in this stage, so they won't save you from any mosquitoes.


Wolf Spider: Found this big hairy gal in the garage after moving some shelves. First shot taken in a metal bowl, then after releasing her to the wilds, er ... in the wife's garden (he-he).
