In the morning dew...

I was organizing some files this eve, wanted to share few photos of bugs. Covered in the morning dew (you can view them larger, 800x536 on the click):

Now, this critter I've never seen before, not sure what it is, but I call it "lion King" :lol: . It's actual size is about the same as the head of the match.

Hope you enjoyed these...

Wow! :D I didn't know bugs could look so pretty!
The last one looks like kind of like a leaf hopper that I get sometimes, but I've never seen it close up. What fascinating iguana eye and that hooked front leg! It could EASILY be a SciFi alien creature.... :lol:

Yep, fascinating what critters, amazing what a naked eye sometimes does not see!
