Possibly because I just watched ‘The Rabbit of Seville’ for the first time in twenty years yesterday, the dialobica on top looks like it’s about to launch into some incredibly moving Aria.
Or conversely ‘Viva Las Vegas,’ by The King.

Fantastic!!!

All I can say is WOW!!!

Janey feckin’ mac, these pics are incredible! That first I. diabolica in particular is like an alien samurai come to decapitate us. And do you know what? If a murderous alien samurai turned up and it were that beautiful, all I could say would be: g’wan then, chop my head off!

Sweet jumping monkeys! I’m speechless.
I actually modified the other Idolomantis diabolica (the one with the yellow background) into my wallpaper, and it looks absolutely awesome! I think I have just found my new favorite insect. -
YAY! More people are learning of the greatness that is The Igor.
I’m almost ready to build a temple to this guy.He’s also got a great deviantART gallery. I couldn’t find this link yesterday.

This guy’s work always blows me away. I’ve spent a lot of time around creepy-crawlies and taking macro photos. I have no idea how he gets such AMAZING shots.
*immature aside* He’s cute too.

Those are very scary looking creatures. I’m thankful that they’re very small, otherwise…

The second one is a spiny flower mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii), I’ve got 4 of them. Great pics.

If it’s not “Frankenstein” it’ll be some other classic a single or another hates, and that is OK of course…at least the kids who tackle it can say why they hated it! We didn’t should read that again in HS, I have hardly ever attempted it. I know we had to study “Moby Dick” and i slogged by means of it and hated it. Yet decades later I attempted it all over again and discovered much to my surprise that I liked ita lotit actually resonated after I’d been through history and religion-in-literature in college.

I stopped using Google Anayltics and moved to piwik so my data wasn’t shared with Google. On the other hand I really miss the goals aspect of GA.
