A lovely green/gold Lamprima adolphinae male, the purple hues show more at certain angles. #bugsky #insects #beetles #coleoptera #wildlife #nature #macro

A very impressive shield bug nymph blending in among the many prickly seeds. Another Corfu find from way back. #stinkbug #bugsky #insects #wildlife #nature #macro #Greece

Marmessoidea sp. "Cat Tien" is a rather skittish species, firing its defensive spray at the slightest disturbance. Their lovely colouration more than makes up for it though. #phasmid #stickbug #stick #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

Calvisia marmorata "Mulu", the incredible adult colouration constrats their brilliant camouflage as nymphs. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect

A juvenile African hawk-eagle, Aquila spilogaster. A relatively small member of the booted eagle family. Juveniles have this lovely golden brown almost toasted hue while adults are almost black and white with a mottled chest. #falconry #raptor #birdsofprey #birds #wildlife #nature #eagle

A handful of female New Guinea stag beetles, Lamprima adolphinae. Sometimes called the Juwel Stag beetles for their iridescence and highly variable colour morphs. #bugsky #insects #coeloptera #beetles #nature #beetle #breeding

An adult male Copiphora gracilis resting on a leaf. What he lacks in size he more than made up in attitude, quite an aggressive species. #grasshopper #cricket #bugsky #katydid #insect #nature #macro

Solygia sulcatifrons is a ginormous species from West Africa. I was fortunate enough to have this one several years ago. #bugsky #mantis #prayingmantis #preyingmantis #insects #nature #macro

The Siberian Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis albidus, although I'm hearing they are now in the Astur genus. One of the largest subspecies of Goshawk and the palest. What an incredible bird.

Africa has a huge array of absolutely stunning mantids, here the beautiful Chlidonoptera lestoni, one of several flower mimics there.

Adult female Haaniella gorochovi "Bidoup Nui Ba" and her newly hatched young. Some members of this genus hold the record for largest insect eggs in the world, with hatchlings nearly an inch long. #phasmid #stickbug #stick #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

Hesperophasma sp. "La Ciénaga" are a very pleasant species to keep. Males have lovely ruby wings while the females are highly variable in colouration. #phasmid #phasmatodea #insects #bugsky #stickbug #nature

Metallyticus splendidus, the famous Metal mantis, is absurdly iridescent. Something that is extremely rare in mantids. The wings can appear metallic red or green depending on the angle. #mantis #insects #wildlife #nature #prayingmantis

Karschia tibetana, the Tibetan Camel spider, the way their chelicerae make up an almost mammalian style jaw is incredible. #arachnid #camelspider #bugsky #macro #invertebrate

I love being a falconer and exotic pet keeper, it gives me moments like these. Australia's smallest owl and Australia's heaviest cockroach in one hand. The owl is Irwin, my Boobook owl, the roach is a juvenile Rhino roach, not just Australia's heaviest, but the world's. #birds #bugsky #falconry

A large Lirometopum cf. coronatum "Bastimentos" male, nearly fully grown. Also known as Pitbull katydids due to their massive heads and aggressive disposition. #katydid #grasshopper #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky
