Does the male look different?

9 Jul, 2009

 

Only slightly. I only found out by looking it up in my book but apparently the spots on segments 8 & 10 on the male are blue.

well done. how long have you been taking photos like this?

10 Jul, 2009

 

Thanks Newfie. I started years ago but it was only when I got my first digital camera about five years ago that I could afford to take enough shots to make it worthwhile as I have so many failed shots that film processing would have been too expensive.

He is quite a large one Sanbaz. I estimate his body length at about three and a half inches.

Sounds wonderful Sanbaz. Do me a favour Sanbaz. Please change your avatar as sights like you are no good for my blood pressure.
