Great shots..

It is amazing (at least to me) that you can mf tiny creatures in the dark (assumed you use torch lights)..

How close were you to the subject for scorpion with the kids shot???

Thanks for the kind comments

Daedalus Trent · 17th April 2008

Walking Stick? You mean the stick can walk? ha. I tot it would be a stick insect

melvynyeo · 17th April 2008

Actually, another name for stick insect is Walking stick.

cherieamour · 17th April 2008

very nice!

saw daddy longlegs and a scorpion there too on a night shoot (: but it didn't have babies!

curious, are there very little insects found @ lower pierce during the day?
