Wonderful detail of an amazing animal!

Perfect focus and lighting, scary detail. Good to read that the family mostly consists of herbivores.

Among the better close-ups I'd say. Presumably a lot of stacking -- done in the field or in a studio?

This was just outside our house in one of my wifes flowers. If I remember correctly, a stack of 3 shots....
