    Those are excellent.

    The blue dragonfly's eyes in that super closeup are amazing.

    This here is a Kakutatang (Grass Hopper from thailand in Tak. The hind jumping legs with the spikes on them have at least 5 pounds of thrust. They can pop your closed hand open with very little ease.

    I took this shot in 2004 in Taksinmaharat National Forest at 1000 metres.

    Image 1: A Katutatang (Thai Grasshopper.


    The other photos I took all over Thailand in rice paddies and jungle settings. The dust mite from a carpet at the University was photographed with the electron microscopy at Chula at the Department of Microbiology's Biology Department.

    Image 2: Two milipedes screwing on buffalo dung.


    Image 3: Two caterpillars who will never mate.


    Image 4: Dustmite photographed with the Electron Microscopy.


    Image 5: A curling Milipede on a small twig. At the Palace Gardens of the King of Thailand.


    Image 6: A cool bluish milipede taking a dump of millipede shit.


    Images 7 and 8 are the caterpillar who becomes the butterfly
    Image 7: The Beautiful colorful caterpilliar.


    Image 8: The butterfly he/she becomes.

    I got some cool bug blowups from some other people which are more fantastic. Will post if anyone wants to see some of them.

    They are fantastic images.

    Actually that's a moth... and caterpillars don't mate because they are not mature, they are a larvae. They will mate once they become butterflies or moths, assuming they are same species.

    Great pics mj, the millipede turd caption got a chuckle out of me.
