Ugh, this thing just gives me the ka-reeps. It's like a death's head on a gnarly fly body. gah.

He is an ugly fella isn't he? Albino head with a hellraiser body. Wouldn't want to swallow this guy if I was a bird.

Superbly captured.

He looks like something that should be in a Tim Burton film. I agree he looks wet and certainly ugly.

It gave me the shivers... but it's a great macro!

I think he was looking at you.

Yikes, he does look like some sort of hell fly. The blood red rear end and those spikes... and standing on such a pretty flower.
