Thank you Hisserdude!
I always get a "kick" whenever someone compliments my insect photos because I consider myself a real novice who hopes to produce better work in the future. Positive comments are my best encouragement. THANKS!!

No problem man, your pics are great!
My favorite of this batch is of the ootheca, in your pictures you can really see the individual eggs inside, and the picture is so crisp and clear, love it! :) Keep on doing what you do man, your work is great!
