 It wasn't until I viewed it on the computer screen that I realised what the green thing was coming out of the spider's mouth.
I had really wanted to go to Ashikaga Flower Park for the stunning wisteria displays, or some other park with 150,000 tulips ... but they're too far to go.

Creepy and lovely, keep looking at my sleeve in case one of them crawled onto me ;) Beautiful fresh capture.

Don't care for the lighting.

Excellent control of your exposure on a tricky subject - and also retained good textural detail.

Great DOF and focus on the flower and the bugs. Very pretty patterns on that iris; good choice for a flower challenge! I know from my own garden that flowers host an infinite variety of bugs, so I'm getting a kick out of finding more and more in this image the longer I look at it ;-)

I like all the creatures on this orchid, and the lovely light.
