Thee Empusas are great, and even cooler lookin when they reach adulthood - especially the males.

Good picture !

jimmy hoffman Thanks Thor!
You're right,the males are really looking cool when they have rached adulthood!
I've seen them many times here in free nature in Spain, where I live.

I like everything about it - the color, the quite mood and, most of all, how you've managed to shoot this creature in such a way that it seems to me as much a 'person' as it does an insect.

Impressive macro shot! The background color feels very right and gives the alien feeling some extra oumphh.
Best regards Carola

I am in aw.. If that is not a alien, i don't know what is.. A ugly insect, yet it is makes me feel humble, cause it has something powerful over it.. A very special creature!
